CNZZ002E   MESSAGE THRESHOLD REACHED FOR JOB jobname ASID xxxx

Explanation

The jobname in the specified address space has exceeded the REGULAR job message threshold (JOBTHRESH) and action will be taken against the job in that address space. If the jobname matches a JOB entry in the REGULAR message specification, action unique to that JOB entry will be taken. Otherwise, DEFAULT or built-in action will be taken. If multiple jobs have the same jobname, action will be taken only against those instances of the job (address spaces) that have exceeded the message threshold.

In the message text:
jobname
The name of the job that is issuing a large number of messages. NONAME or IEESYSAS indicates that a system service is issuing a large number of messages.
asid
The address space where the program was running when the threshold was reached.

System action

REGULAR intensive mode processing continues.

Operator response

Contact the system programmer.

System programmer response

This may be an indication that you or the operator should take action against the job since it is exceeding the number of messages specified in your REGULAR job message threshold policy. You should determine whether this is an actual message flooding situation (and perhaps take action if it is) or if your REGULAR job message threshold has perhaps been set too low.

The ASID value may be used on a CANCEL command to uniquely identify the job to cancel when multiple jobs have the same jobname.
