If runame is indicated, the number n of request units (RU) have been pending to subarea subarea for a period of time without receipt of a corresponding response unit. If the request units remain outstanding for subsequent intervals, this message will be repeated at such intervals until the request units are received or purged.
VTAM® displays OTHER when the request unit type is not known.
Message IST982I indicates that a problem may exist; the longer a request unit remains outstanding (that is, the more often this message reappears for the same request unit), the more probable it is that a problem exists.
See Command and RU types in VTAM messages for a list of request units and their descriptions.
Processing continues, awaiting the corresponding response unit.
If a particular request unit remains outstanding for an extended period of time, save the system log for problem determination.
For a discussion of pending I/O problems, see the wait procedures in z/OS Communications Server: SNA Diagnosis Vol 1, Techniques and Procedures.
