REQUESTED limit LESS THAN CURRENT ALLOCATION – REQUEST {REJECTED|ACCEPTED}

Explanation

The value specified on the CSALIMIT start option, the CSA24 start option, or the MODIFY CSALIMIT command, is less than the common service area (CSA) size currently being used by VTAM®. VTAM rejects a MODIFY CSALIMIT request unless F was indicated in the command to force the change.

During VTAM start, the requested start option is always rejected.

limit is one of the following:
  • CSALIMIT, which indicates total CSA
  • CSA24 LIMIT, which indicates CSA below 24-bit addressable storage.

System action

  • If ACCEPTED is indicated, the operator entered a MODIFY CSALIMIT command with the F operand.

    VTAM sets the limit to the new value specified in the command.

  • If REJECTED is indicated after the operator entered a MODIFY CSALIMIT command, VTAM rejects the command and the limit remains unchanged.
  • If REJECTED is indicated during VTAM start, VTAM rejects the command, the limit remains unchanged, and the operator is prompted to enter an acceptable (larger) value for limit.

Operator response

If VTAM accepts the request, no action is required. If VTAM rejects the request:
  • For a START command, reenter either the CSALIMIT option or the CSA24 option with an acceptable (larger) value.
  • Restriction:
    • If the specified limit is too low and you force this limit to take effect by using the F operand of the MODIFY CSALIMIT command, you cannot enter other VTAM commands (except HALT and CANCEL) until usage falls below the specified limit. This is because this storage is needed to process all VTAM operator commands except HALT or CANCEL.

      If the CSA usage does not fall below the new level, you can use the MODIFY VTAMOPTS command to revise the CSALIMIT value. Verify that circumstances warrant limiting the amount of common service area (CSA) available to VTAM to an amount less than the size that is already in use.

System programmer response

If necessary, redefine either CSALIMIT or CSA24 limit with an appropriate value. Otherwise, no response is necessary.
