Explanation
The current job step did not specify UCS parameters
and the character set currently in use on UCS printer
dev cannot
be assumed as a default option for one of the following reasons:
- The character set is unknown to the system.
- The character set is incorrect because of a previous error condition.
- The character set is not a default character set.
In the message text:
- dev
- The device number of the specified UCS printer.
Operator response
For the first occurrence of this message,
mount the chain, train or band of a suitable default character set
and enter REPLY xx,‘text’ where text is the character
set code followed, if applicable, by FOLD or F and/or VERIFY or V.
(If FOLD or F is omitted but VERIFY or V is specified, indicate the
omission of FOLD or F by specifying two consecutive commas -- for
example, REPLY xx,‘AN,,V’.) Note that this response should
be used only the first time this message is produced.
- For all printers other than the IBM® 4245,
enter REPLY xx ‘U’ to ignore the request and use the character
set image currently in use when one of the following conditions exist.
- If this is not the first occurrence of message IEC123D since the
printer was varied online.
- If this is not the first occurrence of message IEC123D since the
system was IPLed.
- For the IBM 4245 printer
this reply is valid at all times.
If no character set is available for the job step, enter
REPLY xx,‘CANCEL’ or REPLY xx,‘C’. The system
will end the job if the request occurred during processing of an OPEN
macro instruction. If the request was due to processing of a SETPRT
macro, a return code of X'04' will be placed in register
15, and control returned to the program issuing the SETPRT macro.
