Explanation
TCAS issues this message when VTAM® fails to open the TCAS access method control
block (ACB) or to accept logons to TSO. This is either an OPEN ACB
or SETLOGON macro failure.
code (in decimal)
indicates the reason for the problem.
- 16
- The SETLOGON macro, issued by TCAS to allow VTAM to accept logons, failed.
- 20
- A VTAM OPEN macro could
not be processed because of a temporary shortage of storage.
- 36
- TCAS tried to open an ACB. The password in the ACB did not match
the password in the corresponding APPL entry, or the ACB did not specify
a password when one was specified in the APPL entry.
- 82
- The VTAM operator entered
a HALT command, and VTAM is
shutting down.
- 84
- Either the address supplied in the ACB’s APPLID field lies
beyond TCAS’s addressable range, or the name indicated by the
ACB’s APPLID field is not defined to VTAM. If the OPEN macro was specified correctly,
you might have left out TSO’s application program ID (which
is TSO) during VTAM definition.
- 86
- A match for application program ID TSO was found, but it was for
an entry other than an APPL statement.
- 88
- Another ACB, already opened by VTAM,
indicates the same application program ID (TSO) that this ACB does.
You might have assigned the same application program ID to two different
versions of TSO. This is valid only if the programs do not run (or
at least do not open their ACBs) concurrently.
- 90
- The name (TSO) indicated by the ACB’s APPLID field is not
defined to VTAM. This error
might have occurred because:
- No APPL definition statement was coded for TSO.
- The major node containing the APPL definition statement for TSO
has not been activated.
- The major node containing the APPL definition statement for TSO
has been deactivated.
- 92
- VTAM has been included
as part of the operating system, but it is inactive.
- 96
- An apparent system error occurred. Either there is a defect in VTAM’s logic, or there is
an error in TCAS’s use of the OPEN macro that VTAM did not properly detect.
- 112
- The ACB failed to open because close processing was not completed.

logons.
