VTAM MESSAGE messageid ISSUED BUT DOES NOT EXIST

Explanation

VTAM® could not locate messageid in any of the VTAM message tables associated with the destination of the message (a VTAM operator or a program operator application).

System action

Processing for message messageid is complete.

Operator response

Save the system log for problem determination.

System programmer response

Determine whether a valid VTAM message ID is missing from one of the following message modules:
  • ISTINCNO, the IBM-supplied default operation-level USS table
  • ISTCFCMM, the IBM-supplied default message table
  • The USS table specified by the USSTAB start option
  • The USS table specified by the USSTAB operand on the APPL definition statement for a program operator application
  • The USS table specified for an application program using the MODIFY TABLE command.

If messageid is a valid VTAM message ID, it should always be found in ISTINCNO, the IBM-supplied default operation-level USS table. This message is evidence that the USS tables have been improperly modified or installed.

If messageid is not a valid VTAM message ID, take the following actions:
  • If you have access to IBMLink, search for known problems with similar symptoms. If no applicable matches are found, report the problem to IBM® by using the Electronic Technical Report (ETR) option on IBMLink.
  • If you do not have access to IBMLink, report the problem to the IBM Software Support Center.
