IEE846I

Explanation
The operator entered the VARY dev,OFFLINE,FORCE
command. The specified device or the specified console is pending
offline, and will be offline when the following two conditions are
met, in order: The device is no longer allocated to a job.
Allocation can get the necessary resources to process the request.

 The system is already in the process of boxing the device. The
device is pending boxed.
In the message text: dev
The device number specified in the command.
nnnnnnnn
The name of the console specified in the command.

System action
The system continues processing.

Operator response
If the device is pending offline and pending
boxed and not allocated, use the D GRS,C=(SYSIEFSD,VARYDEV*) command
to ensure no contention exists for SYSIEFSD.VARYDEV* resources. If
all of the above conditions are met and no contention exists, notify
the system programmer.

System programmer response
Verify that the SYSIEFSD.VARYDEV resource
is not being used elsewhere through D GRS,RES=(SYSIEFSD,VARYDEV*).
If it is, monitor the resource to ensure processes using it are releasing
it as expected. If the resource is held by a process that seems hung,
attempt to cancel the job. If cancel is not possible, contact IBM®.
