DFS2047 A VTAM BRACKET ERROR WAS ENCOUNTERED NODE x (USER y)

Explanation

A VTAM® bracket error was encountered on a VTAM receive for NODE x or USER y. The probable cause of this error is that an only or first element in a chained data request did not include at least a VTAM begin-bracket indicator.

Under normal circumstances, this message does not occur for terminals that have successfully communicated with IMS. If this error occurs for a node that was recently added to the IMS network, ensure that the terminal is properly defined. Also, ensure that the terminal has the correct VTAM log mode specified or defaulted through IMS or VTAM.

System action

The NODE x or USER y session is terminated. An IMS Log Record (X'67') with an ID of CVCT containing pertinent information was produced.

Operator response

(entering terminal operator) Same as Programmer response.

Programmer response

When the problem is corrected, the session can be reestablished by a NODE x, USER y, or an IMS /OPNDST command.
