IFC134I    {EXCESSIVE CPUS ENCOUNTERED - sssssss MORE THAN {10 13 16} CPUS ENCOUNTERED - sssssss MORE THAN 16 CPUS SPECIFIED WITH SHARE CARDS SHARE CARDS SPECIFY EXCESSIVE CPUS FOR THIS REPORT}

Explanation

(MVS, VM, and VSE) The number of CPUs is excessive; sssssss is the serial number of the first excess CPU. The following are possible reasons for the message:
  • The data sets being processed contain records from an excessive number of CPUs, and the EREP controls do not include a valid combination of CPU or MOD selection parameters or SYSIMG control statements.

    OR

  • EREP has found CONTROLLER, DASDID or SHARE statements specifying too many processors (CPUs) for the requested report.
The system summary report defaults to a maximum of 10 processors; all other reports can show up to 16, with the following exceptions:
  • System exception reports on a maximum of 255 processors
  • Event history reports on a maximum of 256 processors
  • PRINT=PT reports on an unlimited number of processors
  • Threshold reports on an unlimited number of processors
To increase the maximum number of processors for system summary to 16, see LINELEN — Line Length (Processing Parameter).

System action

If it is a case of the data sets being processed containing records from an excessive number of CPUs, processing continues but the output does not show all possible processors, only the maximum allowed for the requested report.

If it is a case of CONTROLLER, DASDID or SHARE statements specifying too many processors, processing is terminated.

Programmer response

If excessive CPUs have been encountered, code the SYSIMG control statement and rerun the job. This reduces the number of CPUs to the actual number of system images. If you still have excessive CPUs, you may have to code the CPU or MOD selection parameter in addition to the SYSIMG control statement. This restricts the number of processors whose records can be processed.

If too many CPUs are defined in the control statements, recode the control statements using only one CPU serial number per system image and rerun the job. (Refer to the individual control statement descriptions for additional information.)
