IEF244I
jobname [procstep] stepname - UNABLE TO ALLOCATE nnn UNIT(S) text

Explanation

text is one of the following:

  • AT LEAST nnn ALLOCATED UNIT(S) NEEDED
  • AT LEAST nnn OFFLINE UNIT(S) NEEDED
  • AT LEAST nnn ALLOCATED AND nnn OFFLINE UNIT(S) NEEDED

The system cannot complete the allocation for a step with the devices currently available online and not allocated. To recover from this situation, units must be varied online and/or become unallocated. Note that this total may include allocated units containing volumes that must be moved to an eligible unit to satisfy the allocation requirements for this step.

If the second line of the message appears the system has determined the minimum number of allocated and/or offline units required. In the message text:
jobname
The name of the job.
procstep
The name of the step in the procedure.
stepname
The name of the job step.
nnn
The number or units that must be varied online and/or become unallocated.
