DFS0477A INVALID CLOCK SETTING. EXCESSIVE UTC OFFSET. RESET CLOCK AND REPLY C FOR CONTINUE OR A FOR ABORT.

Explanation

The UTC offset must be within the range of -11:00 to +14:00 hours. The value is outside this range. The operator probably made an error in the SET CLOCK command.

This message is a WTOR message, and system initialization is suspended until the operator replies. IMS might reissue this message if the clock setting is still invalid after the operator replies.

System action

If the operator replies C, IMS initialization continues. If the operator replies A, IMS terminates abnormally with abend 0525, subcode 03.

Operator response

If you can correct the error by a SET CLOCK command, enter the SET CLOCK command before replying to this message. If you cannot correct the error without an IPL, enter the abort option (A) to allow IMS to make an orderly shutdown.
