Explanation

There was an error in one of the following routines invoked by the region control task (RCT):
  • ATTACH of the dump task
  • ATTACH of started task control (STC) during RCT initialization
  • PURGE I/O during QUIESCE processing
  • The real storage manager (RSM) swap out routine during QUIESCE processing
RCT received an unacceptable return code from the routine and cannot continue processing. This abend may indicate a storage shortage.

System action

The system gives RCT recovery control. The system:
  • Requests that the address space end
  • Issues an SVC dump for the address space if the error was unrecoverable or recursive
  • Writes a logrec data set error record
  • Performs resource clean-up

System programmer response

Look for errors in the logrec data set error record or the SVC dump indicating a prior failure in the same address space. Search problem reporting data bases for a fix for the problem. If no fix exists, contact the IBM® Support Center. Provide the logrec data set error record and the SVC dump.
