COMMANDS ARE AT 80% OF LIMIT IN COMMAND CLASS cc

Explanation

The number of commands of class cc has reached 80% (40) of the system limit of 50 commands executing in an address space at one time.

Message IEE806A will be issued if the number reaches 100%.

In the message text:
cc
is the class, where:
  • Class M1 commands run in the *MASTER* address space and may be essential to clearing the backlog of other commands.
  • Class M2 commands are ordinary attached commands which run in the *MASTER* address space.
  • Class M3 is only for SEND commands executed in the *MASTER* address space.
  • Class C1 commands run in the CONSOLE address space and may be essential to clearing a backlog of other commands.

For detailed information on these commands, see the section on command flooding in z/OS MVS System Commands.

System action

The system issues a CMDS DISPLAY command automatically. Processing continues.

The system will delete this message and issue IEE061I when the number of executing commands goes below 60% of the limit.

The system will delete this message and issue IEE806A when the number of executing commands goes to 100% of the limit.

Operator response

Attempt to diagnose the reason for the excessive number of commands.

Use the CMDS SHOW and CMDS REMOVE commands to delete unwanted commands before execution.

If necessary, CANCEL the job which is issuing the excessive commands.

Notify the system programmer.

System programmer response

Diagnose the reasons for the excessive number of commands. Possibilities include:
  • A job or automation program got into a loop issuing commands.
  • The commands which are executing have become hung, due to a resource deadlock or a required action.
  • The commands are legitimate; for example, a program has issued VARY commands for a large number of devices.
