System action

The system issues message IEA501I. The system waits for the operator to reply.

Operator response

Reply one of the following:
0
The system responds with message IEA500A, which allows you to abnormally end the current program.
1
The system checks and repairs critical data areas.

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.
