IKT001D
nnnn USER(S) ACTIVE REPLY ‘U’, ‘SIC’, OR ‘FSTOP’

Explanation

An operator entered a start command to activate TCAS. nnnn users were found to be active from a previous session. This situation can occur if TCAS previously failed, and users were not properly terminated.

System action

The system waits for the operator to reply.

Operator response

Check to determine whether the users tried to enter a logoff command before a new start command for TSO was entered. If logoff was entered and the users’ address space is still active, there might be a VTAM/TSO interface problem. Otherwise, take one of the following actions:
  • Reply "U" to continue start command processing and to allow the active users to remain active.
  • Reply "SIC" to cancel the active users normally, allowing any messages queued for them to be received. Start command processing will then continue.
  • Reply "FSTOP" to force immediate cancellation of the active users. Start command processing will then continue. Use "FSTOP" only if "SIC" is ineffective.

System programmer response

None.
