This message has the following forms:
For the first form of this message:
An I/O error occurred on LINE xxx PTERM yyy
For the second form:
An I/O error occurred on NODE xxxxxxxx.
For the third form:
VTAM detected an error. See z/OS® Communications Server SNA Programming (SC31-8829) and z/OS Communications Server IP and SNA Codes (SC31-8791) for descriptions of the RC, FEEDBACK, and the REASON codes supplied in the VTAM RPL control block.

System action

For the first and second forms: The PTERM is marked PSTOPPED and inoperable and processing continues.

For the third form: this problem is an unrecoverable VTAM error. IMS stops all communication with VTAM and, therefore, all the NODEs associated with IMS. Communication cannot continue until IMS is shut down and restarted.

For the second from: enter an /RSTART NODE xx command.
