I/O ERROR terminalname, command, ncspresponse[, bscstatus]

Explanation

VTAM® issues this message when an I/O error occurred on a BSC 3270 terminal or control unit.

terminalname is the name of a terminal or control unit.

command is the basic transmission unit (BTU) command and modifier. It represents the command that the NCP received when the I/O error occurred. For more information, see NCP and EP Reference Summary and Data Areas for the 3725 and 3745.

ncspresponse is the system or extended response that the NCP sends upon receiving the command. For more information, see NCP and EP Reference Summary and Data Areas for the 3725 and 3745.

bscstatus is the BSC status information. For more information, see the 3174 Functional Description.

System action

  • For an I/O error on a BSC 3270 terminal, VTAM sends an error indication to the application program.
  • For an I/O error on a BSC 3270 control unit, depending on NCP response and the number of failures, VTAM might resume polling for the data from the control unit.
