ICP050D   SHOULD jobname WRITE TO LEVEL xx IOCDS? REPLY ‘YES’, ‘NO’, OR ‘CANCEL’

Explanation

A job processed the input/output configuration program (IOCP) with a WRTCDS option other than NO on the PARM parameter of an EXEC statement.

In the message text:
jobname
The jobname.
xx
The specified level.
Note: If the CBD.CPC.IOCDS resource of the FACILITY class exists in an installed security product (for example, RACF®), IOCP does not issue this message to the system operator. IOCP determines your authorization to write an input/output configuration data set (IOCDS) from your authorization to update the CBD.CPC.IOCDS resource. If the security administrator has authorized you to update this resource, IOCP writes the IOCDS. If you are not authorized to update the resource, IOCP does not write the IOCDS.

System action

IOCP issues this message to request permission from the system operator for the job to write to the specified level IOCDS in the support element. If two or more jobs are allowed to update concurrently the specified level IOCDS, the outcome could be an IOCDS that is logically inconsistent with the input from any one job. Using this IOCDS at power-on reset or SYSIML CLEAR could produce undesirable results.

Operator response

A reply of ‘YES’ allows the job to continue processing and, if no errors are encountered, to replace the input/output configuration data in the specified level IOCDS in the support element with the input/output configuration data generated by this job. The operator should use the Input/Output Configuration panel to ensure the level IOCDS is not write-protected.

A reply of ‘NO’ allows the job to continue generating input/output configuration data in storage and to produce reports, but does not permit the job to replace the input/output configuration data in the level IOCDS in the support element.

A reply of ‘CANCEL’ ends the job immediately with system completion code X'222'.
