You may find that you cannot enter commands through a console that
otherwise appears normal.
Note: Inhibited input, with or without keyboard locking,
can also occur for the following system programming problems. See
System programming problems.
- The system enters a wait state.
- The system is in a disabled loop.
- A problem occurs in message processing in the operating system.
- Look for software problems first, based on messages and logrec
data set error records. Many software problems can inhibit console
input.
- If no software problems are found, try to restore the screen by
performing a cancel action, which may be pressing
the PA2 key.
- Contact hardware support to fix the error in the
failed console.
