ATCO

Explanation

An application program has attempted to perform a function not supported by a terminal or system.

Possible errors are:

  1. SIGNAL not supported.

    A DFHTC TYPE=SIGNAL request with the WAIT=YES option was issued to a VTAM logical unit that CICS does not support for the receipt of the SIGNAL indicator.

  2. WRITE STRUCTURED FIELD not supported.

    This write may have been attempted as a result of a SEND command with the STRFIELD keyword to a device that does not support this function.

  3. APPC mapped conversation not supported.

    The application has attempted to perform a normal terminal control command on a session that is in use for an APPC unmapped conversation. (Only EXEC CICS GDS commands are permitted.)

System action

The transaction is abnormally terminated with a CICS transaction dump.

User response

Correct the application program.
