INVALID type – SKIPPING TO NEXT NETWORK STMT OR EOF

Explanation

This message is the first of a group of messages. A complete description of the message group follows the example. 
IST700I  INVALID type — SKIPPING TO NEXT NETWORK STMT OR EOF
IST701I  CONFIG configname LABEL = labelname STMT TYPE = statementname
VTAM® encountered an error in the adjacent SSCP, ADJCLUST or COSMAP table definition configname. One of the following is not valid:
  • A definition statement
  • A label (such as a numeric first character)
  • A value on the NETID operand on a NETWORK definition statement
IST700I
  • type is STMT, LABEL, or NETID, indicating the location of the error.
  • If the NETID is not valid, the value coded on the NETID operand on a NETWORK definition statement in an adjacent SSCP, ADJCLUST, or COSMAP table does not follow the standards for a name. The value must be 8 characters or fewer, the first character must be alphabetic, and the rest of the characters must be alphanumeric.
IST701I
  • configname identifies the SSCP, ADJCLUST or COSMAP table definition.
  • labelname is the label on the statement.
  • statementname is the type of definition statement and is filled in only if the label is valid.

System action

All statements in the adjacent SSCP, ADJCLUST, or COSMAP table definition following the statement in error are ignored until a NETWORK statement or end of file (EOF) is encountered. If a NETWORK statement is encountered, normal processing resumes for that NETWORK statement and subsequent definition statements.

If the table is an adjacent SSCP table, and the error occurred after one or more valid ADJCDRM definition statements for the NETWORK statement (or the set of NETWORK statements) preceding the statement with label labelname, those ADJCDRM statements are processed. If no valid ADJCDRM definition is encountered for the NETWORK statement (or the set of NETWORK statements) preceding the statement with label labelname, all definition statements related to the NETWORK statements are ignored.

If the table is an ADJCLUST table, and the error occurred after one or more valid NEXTCP definition statements for the NETWORK statement (or the set of NETWORK statements) preceding the statement with label labelname, those NEXTCP statements are processed. If no valid NEXTCP definition is encountered for the NETWORK statement (or the set of NETWORK statements) preceding the statement with label labelname, all definition statements related to the NETWORK statements are ignored.

If the table is a COSMAP table, and the error occurred after one or more valid MAPTOCOS definition statements for the NETWORK statement (or the set of NETWORK statements) preceding the statement with label labelname, those MAPTOCOS statements are processed. If no valid MAPTOCOS definition is encountered for the NETWORK statement (or the set of NETWORK statements) preceding the statement with label labelname, all definition statements related to the NETWORK statements are ignored.

Operator response

Save the system log for problem determination.

System programmer response

Enter a DISPLAY TABLE command to determine the error. See the z/OS Communications Server: SNA Resource Definition Reference for a description of VTAM table definition statements.

After you correct the error, reactivate the major node in order to use the revised table definition.
