System action
The system prompts the operator for a reply.
Operator response
Do one of the following:
- To continue processing with MCS, reIPL the system with MCS.
- To request that processing continue without MCS, reply with any character. Note that in this case, all 3270 consoles is non-functional, but programs that are processing that do not need to interact with a console operator are able to continue.
When this message is issued, IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to respond promptly. This message is issued as a synchronous WTOR, which will prevent the system from updating its status on the sysplex couple data set. This, in turn, could lead to Sysplex Failure Management (SFM) deciding that the system is not responding normally, and removing it from the sysplex.
System programmer response
If Fccc appears, see the system programmer response for the abend code ccc.
