Responding to BLW004A

The system displays message BLW004A and waits for operator response. BLW004A supplies information about the unit of work in progress.
  1. Reply ABEND to abnormally terminate the interrupted program and invoke the necessary recovery routines if the information describes the unit of work you suspect has a problem.

    Repeat this process of invoking restart procedure replying to BLW004A until you interrupt the work that has the problem.

  2. Reply RESUME to end further restart processing and allow the interrupted work to continue if the message indicates that there are no batch jobs or time-sharing users.
  3. Reply RESUME to end further restart processing and allow the interrupted work to continue if the message indicates that the WTO buffer limit has been exceeded.
  4. Reply REPAIR if you suspect a system problem that is not related to the work currently in progress. The system diagnoses and repairs some problems that might be causing the abnormal behavior.
Note: Replying REPAIR might cause the system to immediately terminate some address spaces. Reply REPAIR only at the direction of the system programmer.
