Action:

Remove the extra sub-parameters and then rerun the job.

ESF510

ALLOCATION FAILED - SUBSYSTEM NOT ACTIVE

Reason:

During allocation processing of the SUBSYS request CA Spool detected that the CA Spool subsystem was not active. The SUBSYS request were rejected (JCL error).

Action:

Start the CA Spool subsystem and then rerun the job.

ESF511

ALLOCATION FAILED - REJECTED BY INTERFACE EXIT

Reason:

The SUBSYS/ESFALLOC request was rejected by the interface exit. The allocation request is rejected (JCL error).

Action:

Contact your systems programmer.

ESF512

ALLOCATION FAILED - UNABLE TO LOCATE THE INTERFACE EXIT

Reason:

During allocation processing, the allocation function was unable to locate the interface exit in LPA/MLPA. The SUBSYS request(s) were the rejected (JCL error).

Action:

Make sure that the CA Spool subsystem is properly started, then rerun the job. If problems still exist, contact your systems programmer.

ESF513

ALLOCATION REQUEST CANCELLED BY SYSTEM OPERATOR - SUBSYSTEM NOT ACTIVE

Reason:

CA Spool was not active at allocation time. The system operator was asked to start CA Spool but canceled this job instead. The SUBSYS request was rejected (JCL error).

Action:

Make sure the CA Spool subsystem is started; then rerun the job.

ESF514

USER FIELD EXCEEDS 4 CHARACTERS

Reason:

The SUBSYS sub-parameter specifying the user field cannot contain more than 4 characters. The SUBSYS request is rejected (JCL error).

Action:

Correct the user field, then rerun the job.

Action:

Correct the sub-parameter field, then rerun the job.

ESF520

ALLOCATION FAILES - RETURN CODE xx FROM ESF OPEN/CLOSE

Reason:

The SUBSYS-allocation request could not be processed, because the CA Spool file to be read could not be properly opened or closed. The allocation request is rejected (JCL error). xx is replaced by the error code returned from the ESFOPEN or ESFCLOS routine.

Action:

Interpret the return code from the ESFOPEN/ESFCLOS routine and take appropriate action.

ESF521

JOB jjjjjjjj UNABLE TO ALLOCATE FILE ffffffff - SUBSYSTEM ssss NOT ACTIVE, REPLY WAIT OR CANCEL

Reason:

Job jjjjjjjj requests allocation of file ffffffff to the subsystem ssss, but subsystem ssss is not active. If the reply is CANCEL, the job will be terminated with a JCL error. If the reply is WAIT, the allocation function goes into a loop for 5 minutes testing each minute to see if the subsystem has been started. If it has been started, the allocation processing continues. If it has not been started, this message will be issued again. This is repeated 5 times before the job is terminated with a JCL error. The allocation function enters wait state until the operator enters the reply.

Action:

Reply CANCEL if subsystem ssss cannot be started in the next 5 to 10 minutes. Reply WAIT if you are just about to start subsystem ssss.

ESF522

FILE ffffffff REDIRECTED TO SUBSYSTEM ssss BY SUBSYSTEM INTERFACE EXIT

Reason:

The interface exit has redirected the file ffffffff to be allocated to subsystem ssss instead of the one requested in the SUBSYS parameter. Processing continues.

Action:

None.

ESF523

ERROR IN SJF PROCESSING

Reason:

An error was detected during processing of an OUTPUT JCL reference. The allocation request is rejected (JCL error).

Action:

Specify a valid OUTPUT reference, then rerun the job.

ESF524

DYNALLOC RETURN CODE IS xxxx-xxxx

Reason:

The subsystem data set allocation request could not be processed successfully. xxxx-xxxx are the S99ERROR and S99INFO codes from the DYNALLOC request block. A description of these codes can be found in the OS manual Authorized Assembler Programming Guide. Processing is terminated.

Action:

Interpret the codes returned and take appropriate action.

ESF525

DDNAME INVALID

Reason:

An ESFALLOC command was issued, but the first positional operand, specifying the DDname to be assigned to the data set, is not valid. The allocation request is not processed.

Action:

Correct the parameter, then retry the request.

ESF526

DDNAME IN USE

Reason:

An ESFALLOC command was issued, but the first positional operand, specifying the DDname to be assigned, already has an allocation associated with it. The allocation request is not processed.

Action:

Free the current allocation (use the FREE FILE (ddname) command), or select another name for the file.

ESF527

CANNOT ISSUE STAX MACRO

Reason:

The ESFALLOC command processor could not issue the STAX macro to catch later attention interrupts (PA1). The allocation request is not processed.

Action:

Consult your systems programmer.

ESF528

INSUFFICIENT SPACE AVAILABLE FOR PARSE

Reason:

The PARSE service routines did not complete successfully because of a no-storage condition. The allocation request is not processed.

Action:

Increase the SIZE operand on the LOGON request or contact your systems programmer.

ESF529

PROGRAMMING ERROR IN ESFALLOC

Reason:

The PARSE service routines returned a completion code indicating a programming error in ESFALLOC. The allocation request is not processed.

Action:

Save the issued calling sequence and contact your systems programmer.

ESF530

NOT A SUBSYSTEM DATASET - xxxxxxxx

Reason:

The file named in the LIKE operand of ESFALLOC is not a CA Spool subsystem data set. The allocation request is not processed.

Action:

Omit the LIKE operand or specify the DDname of a CA Spool subsystem data set allocated either by ESFALLOC or allocated in the LOGON procedure.

ESF531

NO ALLOCATION FOUND - xxxxxxxx

Reason:

The file named in the LIKE operand of ESFALLOC is not allocated; that is, a DD statement is missing. The allocation request is not processed.

Action:

Omit the LIKE operand, or specify the DDname of a CA Spool-subsystem data set allocated either by ESFALLOC or allocated in the LOGON procedure.

ESF532

SUBSYSTEM DOES NOT EXIST - xxxx

Reason:

The subsystem name specified in the SUBSYS parameter of ESFALLOC is not an active CA Spool-subsystem. The allocation request is not processed.

Action:

Specify an active CA Spool subsystem name in the SUBSYS operand or allow the value to default.

ESF533

NO ESF SUBSYSTEM ACTIVE

Reason:

ESFALLOC found no active CA Spool subsystem to process the allocation request. The allocation request is not processed.

Action:

Contact your systems programmer.

ESF534

REFERENCE TO A NON-ESF SUBSYSTEM - xxxx

Reason:

The subsystem which you have named in the SUBSYS operand of ESFALLOC is not a CA Spool-subsystem. The allocation request is not processed.

Action:

Specify the name of a CA Spool subsystem or allow the parameter to default.

ESF535

SUBSYSTEM IS NOT AVAILABLE - xxxx

Reason:

The CA Spool subsystem specified in the SUBSYS operand of ESFALLOC is not started or is terminating, or the subsystem interface has been halted. The allocation request is not processed.

Action:

Select another CA Spool subsystem or allow the subsystem name to default.

ESF536

CONFLICTING PARAMETERS

Reason:

It was not possible to determine from the combination of specified parameters of ESFALLOC if an input data set or an output data set was to be allocated. This will be the case if you, for example, specify CLASS together with SEQNR. CLASS assigns an output attribute, and SEQNR specifies the number of an existing file. The allocation request is not processed.

Action:

Specify parameters applicable to the type of data set you require allocated.

ESF538

SUBSYSTEM ESFn APPEARS UNRESPONSIVE, REPLY 'C' TO CONTINUE OR 'H' TO HALT THE SYSOUT ALLOCATION INTERCEPT

Reason:

The CA Spool subsystem has not responded to an allocation request for 60 seconds. In rare instances, multiple abends in CA subtasks could leave the region active, but unable to respond to sysout allocation requests. This WTOR will be issued for each new request that occurs when this condition is encountered, unless an H response is received or the problem condition clears.

Action:

Before replying, the status of the CA Spool task must be investigated.

A reply of 'C' continues the attempt to process the sysout allocation attempt. The task issuing this WTOR must be monitored to be sure that continued processing is successful.

A reply of 'H' disables the CA Spool Sysout Allocation intercept globally and current and future allocations are skipped. Sysout files are written to the JES spool until HS and SS commands are issued or a recycle of the CA Spool task is done. Any files that are bypassed due to this action can be processed by the XFERSAPI interface after the problem condition is identified and resolved.

Note: To begin monitoring the Sysout Allocation response time so that a decision can be made to issue ESF538, XEQOPT=29 must be specified in the ESFPARM file.

ESF540

PERMANENT CLOSE FAILED FOR FILE ffffffff - SUBSYSTEM ssss NOT ACTIVE

Reason:

During SUBSYS de-allocation of the file ffffffff, a permanent close is performed for the file. This permanent close could not be done because subsystem ssss was not active. Processing terminates.

Action:

Restart the CA Spool subsystem.

ESF541

PERMANENT CLOSE FAILED FOR FILE ffffffff - NO STORAGE IN SUBPOOL 230

Reason:

During de-allocation a permanent close is to be performed for the file ffffffff. To do this, the de-allocation function needs storage for a parameter list, but this storage could not be obtained. Processing terminates; no permanent close is affected.

Action:

Contact your systems programmer.

ESF543

PERMANENT CLOSE FAILED FOR FILE ffffffff - RETURN CODE cc FROM ESF CLOSE

Reason:

During de-allocation a permanent close is to be performed for the file using the normal CA Spool close interface. CA Spool was unable to close the file and returned a return code cc. Processing terminates; the file is not permanently closed.

Action:

Contact your systems programmer.

ESF545

PERMANENT CLOSE FAILED FOR FILE ffffffff - REJECTED BY INTERFACE EXIT

Reason:

During de-allocation a permanent close is to be performed, but the interface exit rejected the close request. Processing terminates; no close is done.

Action:

Contact your systems programmer.

ESF546

PERMANENT CLOSE FAILED FOR FILE ffffffff - REOPEN FAILED RC cc FROM ESF OPEN

Reason:

During de-allocation a permanent close is to be performed, and if the file has been temporarily closed, it is necessary to reopen the file before the permanent close can be done. For some reason CA Spool could not reopen the file and returned return code cc to describe the error. Processing terminates and the file remains temporarily closed.

Action:

Contact your systems programmer.

ESF550

OPEN FAILED FOR FILE ffffffff - SUBSYSTEM ssss NOT ACTIVE

Reason:

File ffffffff could not be opened because subsystem ssss was not active. Processing terminates.

Action:

Start subsystem ssss and then rerun the job.

ESF551

OPEN FAILED FOR FILE ffffffff - NO STORAGE IN SUBPOOL 230

Reason:

No storage was available to build a CA Spool open parmlist for this SUBSYS request. Processing terminates.

Action:

Contact your systems programmer.

ESF552

OPEN FAILED FOR FILE dddddddd - SUBSYSTEM ssss, EMAIL PARMS CAUSED USERDATA SPACE TO BE EXHAUSTED

Reason:

The CA Spool open failed for the file associated with DD statement dddddddd, for CA Spool subsystem ssss. The file being created did not have enough USERDATA space to store all OUTPUT statement USERDATA and MAIL parameters. The file was not created in CA Spool.

Action:

Review the job that created the file, to determine how to reduce its USERDATA or MAIL parameter requirements and fit into the 960 byte USERDATA area.

ESF553

OPEN FAILED FOR FILE ffffffff - RETURN CODE cc FROM ESF OPEN, xxx

Reason:

CA Spool was unable to open the file for this subsystem request. xxx will contain a 3-byte identification of the field in error, if the return code is PE. Processing terminates.

Action:

Contact your systems programmer.

ESF554

OPEN ERROR ON FILE ffffffff - REASON CODE = x

Reason:

An error was detected during open processing of file ffffffff. Processing terminates.

The reason code explains the error:

Action:

Correct the problem or contact the systems programmer.

ESF555

OPEN FAILED FOR FILE ffffffff - REJECTED BY INTERFACE EXI

Reason:

The interface exit rejected the open request for file ffffffff. Processing terminates.

Action:

Contact your systems programmer.

ESF556

OPEN FAILED FOR FILE xxxxxxxx - ERROR in SJF PROCESSING

Reason:

A non-zero return code was received from an SJFREQ macro during the processing of an OUTPUT JCL statement reference. Processing terminates.

Action:

Check that the OUTPUT reference is valid.

ESF560

TEMPORARY CLOSE FAILED FOR FILE ffffffff - SUBSYSTEM ssss NOT ACTIVE

Reason:

During close processing of a SUBSYS file, only a temporary close is performed for the file. This temporary close could not be done because subsystem ssss was not active. Processing terminates.

Action:

Restart the CA Spool subsystem.

ESF563

TEMPORARY CLOSE FAILED FOR FILE ffffffff - RETURN CODE cc FROM ESF CLOSE

Reason:

During close of a SUBSYS request, only a temporary close is performed. For some reason CA Spool was unable to close the file and returned a return code cc. Processing terminates, the file is not temporarily closed.

Action:

Contact your systems programmer.

ESF565

TEMPORARY CLOSE FAILED FOR FILE ffffffff - REJECTED BY INTERFACE EXIT

Reason:

The interface exit rejected the temporary- close request. Processing terminates, no temporary close is performed.

Action:

Contact your systems programmer.

ESF580

START COMMAND REJECTED, INTERFACE ALREADY ACTIVE

Reason:

A start-SUBSYS-interface command has been rejected because the interface is already active. Processing continues.

Action:

None.

ESF581

SUBSYS INTERFACE STARTED

Reason:

A start-SUBSYS-interface command has been successfully completed. The SUBSYS-parameter-interface is started.

Action:

None.

ESF582

HALT COMMAND REJECTED, INTERFACE ALREADY HALTED

Reason:

A halt-SUBSYS-interface command has been rejected because the interface is already halted. Processing continues.

Action:

None.

ESF583

SUBSYS INTERFACE HALTED

Reason:

A halt-SUBSYS-interface command has been successfully completed. The SUBSYS-parameter interface is stopped.

Action:

None.

ESF590

FUNCTION NOT SUPPORTED BY ESF - SVC-DUMP SCHEDULED - SVC-DUMP NOT
SCHEDULED

Reason:

The subsystem support module has received a subsystem request not supported by CA Spool. If an SVC DUMP was taken, register 10 points to the SSOB requesting the function not supported. If no SVC DUMP was taken, the reason is that no storage was available for work areas. Processing continues and the request is rejected.

Action:

Contact your systems programmer.
