Explanation

When the operator caused a restart interruption, the specified job was in progress. The message asks the operator to resume the job that was in progress or end it.

In the message text:
jobname
The name of the job that the system was currently processing.
stepname
The name of the step that the system was currently processing or blanks.
UNKNOWN JOBNAME
The system could not identify the current job.
ASID=aaaa
The address space identifier (ASID)
MODE=mmmm
The system was processing one of the following units of work:
TASK
A task
SRB
A service request
WAIT
The system wait task
*
A unit of work other than those listed above

The 16-byte program status word (PSW) at the time of the restart interruption.

System action

The system prompts the operator for a reply.

Operator response

Reply one of the following:
RESUME
The job that was in progress continues at the next sequential instruction.
ABEND
The system ends the job with abend X'071'.

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.
