 COMMAND ===>

   IBMDSC persistent table library just encountered an unrecoverable
   error ( ABEND      ). In order to complete your request, a larger
   library needs to be allocated.

   If you elect to proceed with allocating a larger library, IBMDSC
   will perform the following steps to ensure integrity of your data:
   1) Rename library to: INTT125.SYSA.ISPF.IPITBLB0
   2) Allocate a larger: INTT125.SYSA.ISPF.IPITBLIB
   3) Copy old library into the new one.
   4) Resume operation with new library.

   If you decline to proceed with the above, your currently used
   persistent table will not be saved as requested.

 Press ENTER to process or F3    to cancel.
