AVZ3208S stortype RETURNED FOR stortype REQUESTED BY modname+offset, SP=subp, LEN=length

Explanation

The storage management routine detected that a request for extended storage (above the 16MB line) was satisfied with non-extended storage (below the 16MB line). This will only happen when the extended storage area has been depleted and MVS™ is returning non-extended storage to satisfy storage requests. For example, the product is requesting ECSA storage but MVS is returning CSA storage because ECSA has been completely allocated. This problem can also occur for private area storage as well.

stortype may be E/CSA or E/Private

subp represents the subpool requested

User response

This is a very serious error and requires immediate action. If the message shows that CSA is being returned for ECSA requests, then ECSA has been depleted. One or more products may have to be terminated to release ECSA. At some point, the amount of ECSA allocated may have to be increased. Note that the product can continue to execute in this case. However, CSA is likely to be depleted, leading to complete MVS system failure. If the message indicates that the problem is occurring for private area storage, contact Software Support with this problem.
