Responding When a Job Enters Allocation Recovery

The value you specify for the SETOPTION AUTOREPLY IEF238D command tells TPCF how to respond to the z/OS IEF238D message.

Note: For more information, see the Statement and Command Reference Guide.

If AUTOREPLY=ON and TPCF requests operator intervention, then TPCF reissues the z/OS IEF238D as a MIM2060 message. If TPCF responds automatically to the z/OS IEF238D message, then TPCF issues a multi-line WTO containing the IEF238D and MIM2046 messages.

Note: If you specify SETOPTION AUTOREPLY=OFF, the z/OS IEF238D message appears instead of the MIM2060 message and TPCF will not automatically reply to any messages, nor will it remove devices from the offline device list.
