IST1054I
VALUE FOR option MUST BE BETWEEN min AND max

Explanation

VTAM® issues this message during START processing or in response to a MODIFY VTAMOPTS command when the value of option is out of range. The value of option must be between min and max.

System action

VTAM ignores the option specified by the option value.
  • If the error occurred during START processing, VTAM might issue message IST1311A to prompt you for the correct value of option.
  • If the error occurred in response to a MODIFY VTAMOPTS command, processing continues.

Operator response

  • If the error occurred during START processing and you were prompted to enter a value for the option, specify a value between the min value and the max value, in response to message IST1311A. You can also enter a blank if you want to accept the default value for option.
  • If the error occurred in response to a MODIFY VTAMOPTS command, ensure that you entered the option value correctly.

System programmer response

  • If the error occurred during START processing, correct the option value if the value that is coded represents an ATCSTRxx file.
  • If the error occurred in response to a MODIFY VTAMOPTS command, no further action is required.
