Ineligible Device Allocated

Symptom:

A job allocates a device that should have been eliminated by a user exit routine or a device that is reserved for another job.

Possible Causes:

The criteria defined for eliminating devices is too restrictive. Because the criteria would have eliminated all suitable devices, TPCF ignored the criteria.

Solution:

Make the criteria less restrictive. Review the criteria defined in the exit routine. Use the JOBRESERVE parameter on the DISPLAY command to see information about reserved devices.
