DFS0528I PSTOP/STOP CMD FOR RGN nnnn WAITING IN QSN EXIT. CODE = x

Explanation

The dependent region was placed in a wait state by DFSQSPC0, the IBM® IMS Queue Control Facility for z/OS® version of the Queue Space Notification Exit. The wait state occurred based on IMS queue usage, which exceeded the user or default limits. While the dependent region was in a wait state, a /STOP or /PSTOP command was entered against the region. To terminate an application program or region in this state, use one of the following methods:
  • Use the QCF TSO/ISPF interface.
  • Enter a /STOP REGION x ABDUMP tranname command to terminate the application program, and then enter a /STOP REGION x command to terminate the region.
In the message text:
nnnn
The dependent region that was placed in a wait state.
x
The reason code, which can be one of the following:
1
Indicates that the dependent region terminates with abend 0408. This abend is normal if a /STOP REGION x ABDUMP tranname command was issued.
2
Indicates that the region is no longer waiting in the queue space notification exit, or it was not recognized in that state when the command was issued.
3
Indicates a failure to acquire space to process a /STOP or /PSTOP command (DFSSTOP). This error should not occur.

System action

None.

Operator response

Take the appropriate action based on the return code:
1
Enter the /DISPLAY ACTIVE REGION command. If the status that displays is WAIT-QSN, enter a /STOP REGION x ABDUMP tranname command to terminate the application program, then enter a /STOP REGION x command to terminate the region. If reason code 1 is received persistently for a specific region, report the problem to the system programmer.
2
Enter the /DISPLAY ACTIVE REGION command. If the status that displays is WAIT-QSN, enter a /STOP REGION x ABDUMP tranname command to terminate the application program, then enter a /STOP REGION x command to terminate the region. If message DFS0528I occurs again with reason code 1 when the /DISPLAY command continues showing WAIT-QSN, report the problem to the system programmer.
3
Report the problem to the system programmer.
