DFS253I hh.mm.ss TCU INOPERABLE LINE x PTERM y-z aa,bbbb,cc,dd, ee,ff,gg,hh,iiii,jjjj

Explanation

The 270X for LINE x PTERM y is inoperable. All PTERMs on the line have been marked inoperable, and the line has been placed in an idle state. See the information about the z/OS® system error message IEA000I for line and TCU errors or to IMS error message DFS973I for 3270 device errors.

Attention: The DFS253I form of the message is issued only for remote 3270 lines.
Attention: IMS no longer supports BTAM terminals.
The following description applies to remote 3270 lines:
Code
Meaning
y-z
This field gives the range of PTERMs that are connected to the line.
aa
This field contains the ECB completion code.
bbbb
The DECTYPE field indicates the type of failing operation.
cc
The DECTPCOD field indicates the data communication operation code from the last CCW run in the channel program.
dd
The DECFLAGS field contains the flag byte passed to IMS from BTAM. The field might contain information as to the cause of the failure.
ee
The DECSENS0 field contains the sense information from the DECB if the status in the CSW indicates a unit check.
ff
The DECERRST is the error status field from the DECB.
gg
The DECCSWST is the CSW status field from the DECB.
hh
This field contains the device-dependent module code. When the 3270 device-dependent module shuts down a component of the data communication network, a device-dependent module reason code is put in the CLBTEMP1 field to indicate why the device-dependent module shut down the component.
iiii
This field contains the BSCK return code. The code is passed from the BSC check routine (DFSBSCK0) to the device-dependent module. The BSC check routine analyzes the I/O completion and passes a unique return code to the device-dependent module, depending on the contents of the DECB fields.
jjjj
This field contains the SENSE/STATUS information from the 3270 device (if applicable).
