IST219I
I/O ERROR ON READ FOR nodename – BYTECNT MISMATCH

Explanation

VTAM® issues this message when an input buffer error is detected during a READ operation for one of the following:
  • Channel attached NCP nodename
  • Channel attached local SNA control unit nodename.
  • Channel attached multipath channel (MPC) line, where nodename is the name of the line.
The data count field for the PIU does not match the amount of data transferred (BYTECNT).

System action

VTAM deactivates nodename.

If the node is attempting to send more data than VTAM can receive, the operating system might generate message IOS000I.

Operator response

This is probably a hardware error. Save the system log for problem determination. Run your operating system service aid program to determine whether MDR/OBR information has been recorded. See the EREP User's Guide for more information on using EREP.

If you use a network management application such as NetView®, check to determine whether an alert was recorded for this problem.

System programmer response

If you cannot determine the cause of the problem from the output provided or need additional assistance, contact the IBM® hardware support center.

If available, provide the MDR/OBR information from your operating system service aid program or the alert information recorded by your network management application.
