{REPLY U THEN DEPRESS TOD CLOCK SECURITY SWITCH WHEN ENTERED TIME OCCURS|REPLY U WHEN THE ENTERED TIME OCCURS}

Explanation

The operator responded to message IEA888A or IEA886A in a way that requires the time-of-day (TOD) clock to be set.

Message REPLY U WHEN THE ENTERED TIME OCCURS is issued when you are running MVS™ under VM or PR/SM™.

System action

When the message reads REPLY U THEN DEPRESS TOD CLOCK SECURITY SWITCH WHEN ENTERED TIME OCCURS and when the operator acknowledges receipt of the message, the system attempts to set a TOD clock for a one-minute interval. If the operator does not press the security switch during that interval, the system issues message IEA888A or IEA886A again.

When the message reads REPLY U WHEN THE ENTERED TIME OCCURS, the system starts the TOD and continues processing.

Operator response

When the message reads REPLY U THEN DEPRESS TOD CLOCK SECURITY SWITCH WHEN ENTERED TIME OCCURS, do the following:
  • Enter REPLY id,‘U’ to acknowledge that you received this message.
  • Press the security switch at the same time you respond to message IEA888A or IEA886A.

When the message reads REPLY U WHEN THE ENTERED TIME OCCURS, enter REPLY id,‘U’ at the same time specified in message IEA888A or IEA886A.
