IRRV017I

Explanation
An internal error occurred.  RACF® received an unexpected return code while
attempting to communicate with the RACF subsystem.
 The communication is by way of the JES subsystem interface service
provided by the IEFSSREQ macro. This message is sent to the user's
TSO terminal.

System action
Processing is halted after the unexpected return
code is received. Message IRRV016I should precede this message and
indicate the IEFSSREQ return code received.

User response
In most cases, the command is not directed to
the target nodes. If you were directing the command to multiple nodes,
it is possible for you to get stuck in a timing situation where the
first target was processed, and the second one was not.  In this case,
you may use the appropriate list command (for example, LISTUSER) to
determine if the update occurred on any specific node. Reissue the
command. If the problem persists, contact your RACF support personnel and report the return
code.

Problem determination
If you are receiving return code 4, it
is likely that someone at your installation has shut down the RACF subsystem.  Contact your RACF support personnel and report
the return code.  If you are receiving another return code, look it
up in z/OS MVS Using the Subsystem Interface. If
you have never had the RACF subsystem successfully running,
this may help you determine the problem.  If you have had it running
and this problem just surfaced, report it to the IBM® support center.  Be sure to indicate the
return code that was reported in the message.
