A21

Explanation

The system attempted to page-protect a storage area. The segment table entry (SGTE) for this area was incorrect. The error occurred in the modified link pack area (MLPA), the extended pageable link pack area (PLPA), the fixed link pack area (FLPA), or the extended FLPA.

System action

The system enters wait state X'A21'. The system issues message IAR012W.

Operator response

If requested by the system programmer, obtain a stand-alone dump.

If the error occurred in MLPA, EXTENDED MLPA, BLDL, FLPA, or EXTENDED FLPA, attempt to reIPL the system without this area. If the error occurred in MLPA or EXTENDED MLPA, try to reIPL the system without the default page protection for this area. Use the NOPROT option on the MLPA parameter.

System programmer response

Search the problem reporting databases for a fix for the problem. If no fix exists, ask the operator to obtain a stand-alone dump. Contact the IBM® Support Center. Provide the dump.
