IST529I
VR SELECTION EXIT reason [AND IS NOW INACTIVE]

Explanation

The virtual-route-selection exit routine has terminated.

reason can be one of the following:
ABENDED WITH CODE code
The VR exit selection subtask, ISTPUCX0, abnormally terminated with hexadecimal abend code code. See the z/OS MVS System Codes for more information.
EXCEEDED ABEND THRESHOLD
The VR exit selection subtask, ISTPUCX0, abnormally terminated more than four times in less than four minutes.
REQUESTED TERMINATION
The exit routine requested its own termination by specifying a nonzero return code when it returned control to VTAM®.
IS NOT OPERATIVE DUE TO A LACK OF STORAGE
The exit routine became inoperative because of a lack of storage.

System action

Processing continues. If the exit routine has abended but has not exceeded its abend threshold, VTAM reinstates the exit routine. If the abend threshold was exceeded or the exit routine requested termination, VTAM stops using the exit routine and performs virtual route selection for session requests strictly on the basis of the requested Class of Service.

Operator response

Save the system log for problem determination.

System programmer response

If the virtual route selection exit routine abended, there is probably a programming error in the exit routine. You can replace the exit routine with the corrected version by using the MODIFY EXIT command. See z/OS Communications Server: SNA Operation for information on the MODIFY EXIT command.

If the exit routine requested its own termination, there might be a programming error.
