ICP050D SHOULD jobname WRITE TO LEVEL Ax IOCDS? REPLY 'YES', 'NO' OR 'CANCEL'

Explanation

A job with name jobname is running IOCP with a WRTCDS option other than NO in the PARM parameter of the EXEC statement. IOCP sends this message to request permission from the z/OS® or VSE system operator for the job to write the Ax IOCDS to the Support Element hard disk.

z/OS users can prevent this message from being sent. See Authorizing an IOCDS write.
Note: If two (or more) jobs are allowed to update concurrently the Ax IOCDS, the outcome might be an IOCDS that is logically inconsistent with the input from any one job. Using this IOCDS at power-on reset might produce undesirable results.

System action

If you enter YES, the job continues running IOCP and, if no errors are encountered, replaces the input/output configuration data in the Ax IOCDS on the hard disk with the input/output configuration data it generates. Use Input/Output Configuration window of the Support Element to determine if the Ax IOCDS is write-protected.

If you enter NO, the job continues generating input/output configuration data in storage and to produce reports, but the job does not replace the input/output configuration data in the Ax IOCDS on the SE hard disk.

If you enter CANCEL, the job ends immediately and receives system code X'222'.
