0B3

Explanation

Initial program load (IPL), found incorrect information in the LOAD parameter. The first four characters of the LOAD parameters should contain the device number of the direct access storage device (DASD) volume containing the SYS1.PARMLIB data set. The value specified in the LOAD parameter is not a valid device number.

System action

The system enters a non-restartable wait state.

Operator response

Check the LOAD parameter on the hardware frame you used to IPL the system. The first four characters are supposed to be hexadecimal digits (0 through 9, A through F) that form the device number where the IODF resides. For three digit device numbers, add a leading zero so that all four characters are valid hexadecimal digits.

If the value is incorrect, enter the correct value and reIPL the system. If the value is correct, record the contents of the LOAD parameter, and notify the system programmer.

System programmer response

If the LOAD parameter specifies the correct four digit hexadecimal device number and the problem persists, search problem reporting databases for a fix for the problem. If no fix exists, contact the IBM® Support Center.
