1. Determine which session was running when the message was issued.
  • If the message was issued within an RMF™ ISPF reporter session, use the help facility RMF supplies for an explanation of the message and user response.
  • If the message was received on the main operator console, it is a system message.

If you need assistance with a message, continue with the next step.

Press the HELP key (PF1) for an explanation of the message. These message explanations are also listed in the z/OS RMF Messages and Codes book.

For an explanation and an appropriate operator response for system messages, please visit the LookAt home page at http://www.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/bkserv/lookat/.
