IST1055I
VALUE FOR option MUST BE type

Explanation

VTAM® issues this message during START processing or in response to a MODIFY VTAMOPTS command when the value of option is not the correct type. Possible values are:
NUMERIC
The value for option must be an integer.
TIMER
The value for option must be in the form xxI, where xx is a numeric value and I is a character designation of a time interval (S = seconds, M = minutes, H = hours, D = days). Individual start options that use TIMER notation have different valid ranges. See the z/OS Communications Server: SNA Resource Definition Reference for more information.

System action

VTAM ignores option.
  • If the error occurred during START processing, VTAM will 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, enter a valid value for option in response to 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 option correctly.

System programmer response

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