SFER-08

JOB xxxxxxxx HAS MORE THAN 255 REQUIREMENTS

Reason:

A job has been brought into the REQ queue. The specified job has more than 255 requirements defined. Having more than 255 requirements defined for a job can lead to errors when the job enters the request queue because the master requirement count can only be a maximum of 256 before it resets.

Action:

This is an informational message unless RQMT255=YES is specified in the product's initialization file OPTIONS statement. If specified, any job entering the REQQ with more than 255 requirements has the first 254 requirements added and then a special user requirement with text of SFER-08: JOB HAS MORE THAN 254 RQMTS. This user requirement has to be posted manually. A WTO with prefix CA-7.SFER-08 is also produced.
