SMCS tried to define itself to VTAM® but could not because the APPLID (specified in the CONSOLxx member of Parmlib) was not a valid APPLID. The system will issue this message when the service, OPEN, fails.
If the RC (aaaaaaaa) is X'08' and the RSN (bbbbbbbb) is X'56', this means the system found a match for the SMCS application program's symbolic name, but it is for a VTAM resource that is not an APPL.
SMCS waits for VTAM to transition the APPLID to a usable state, or for the operator to change the APPLID for the SMCS to a different APPLID. When VTAM activates the APPLID, SMCS will continue initialization.
If the RC = X'08' and the RSN = X'56', verify that VTAM knows the APPLID name used by SMCS as an application and not some other type of VTAM Resource. Use command, D NET,ID=xxxxxxxx, SCOPE=ALL to display the resource. If the name is displayed as an APPLID and VTAM does not activate the APPLID, attempt to activate the APPLID through the VARY NET,ACT,ID=xxxxxxxx command. If the APPLID is still not activated, issue command K M,APPLID=yyyyyyyy to use a different APPLID if possible. If the APPLID is still not activated, notify your system programmer.
