Turning off Message CPI0999

Resolving The Problem

Prior to performing the steps below, refer to the following document for additional information, Receiving Message CPI0999: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1019460

If the system is no longer in the state in which message CPI0999 was issued, the following steps can be performed to turn off message CPI0999 (which is issued hourly until out of the condition and an IPL has been performed):

CRTDTAARA DTAARA(QSYS/QSTGDIRTHR) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(6) VALUE('YYMMDD') TEXT('Data Area to Turn Off CPI0999 Message')

YYMMDD is the current date in a year/month/day format. For example, if the date is July 27, 2016, the value parameter should be 160727. A completion message is shown that says Data area QSTGDIRTHR created in library QSYS. This turns off the message for that day only. If the condition remains out of the state for it being issued, the message will not be posted. If the condition is present again the next day as determined by the System Licensed Internal Code (SLIC), the value parameter will need to be updated with the new date. An example is:

CHGDTAARA DTAARA(QSYS/QSTGDIRTHR) VALUE('YYMMDD')

To verify the date in the data area, display the data area. An example is as follows:

DSPDTAARA DTAARA(QSYS/QSTGDIRTHR)

A screen similar to the following is shown:
