ANFM1111I   Data set: datasetname IP address: ipaddress The name or address specified is not recognized as a host name or valid dotted decimal address

Explanation

The host name or address cannot be resolved.

In the message text:
datasetname
Name of the data set.
ipaddress
Host name or IP address for the printer or print server that was specified in the printer definition, on the OUTPUT JCL statement for the data set, or in the IP PrintWay™ Routing exit.

System action

IP PrintWay attempts to retransmit the document to the printer. If this is the last retransmission attempt, IP PrintWay either deletes the print job from the JES spool or retains it on the JES spool. When the retention time expires, IP PrintWay automatically deletes the print job from the JES spool.

Operator response

Notify the system programmer that this error occurred.

System programmer response

Try to ping the printer or print server by using the host name or IP address in the message. If the ping is not successful, make sure that the host name or IP address is correct and, if a host name is specified, that the domain name server is working. If the host name or IP address is incorrect, specify the correct host name or IP address in the printer definition, on the OUTPUT JCL statement, or in the IP PrintWay Routing exit.

If the data set is retained on the IP PrintWay transmission queue, you can use the Infoprint Server ISPF panels to reroute the data set to the correct host name or IP address. If the data set is not retained on the transmission queue, the user must resubmit the data set for printing.

Note: If the IP address is in colon-hexadecimal format, you must use IP PrintWay extended mode. IP PrintWay basic mode does not support IPv6.
