Error description

  • Explorer for z/OS - zExpl
IBM Developer for z/OS - IDz

When using Remote z/OS File Search, if the target of the search
is a filter containing a data set allocated on a device that is
offline, the search might hang on the client side. On the host
side, RSE might ask for the offline device to be mounted, for
example:
IEF238D JTANG21 - REPLY DEVICE NAME OR 'CANCEL'.
IEF882E JTANG21 SUPERC IS WAITING FOR A REPLY TO IEF238D
