Error description

  • Running a BMP job with the NOTIFY= statement on the AREA /
    FAILSAFE cards can cause the following to occur:
    The BMP job is doing inserts and triggers the AREA card(that
    has the NOTIFY= statement specified) which kicks off a
    IQCSNTFY job for each insert. As the IQCSNTFY jobs start
    multiplying, it seems to override the entire system and allows
    no other overflow messages to be displayed.
