Hi,
I have encountered the message 1S40I SYSTEM ERROR, MGCRE RET. CODE=08 REASON CODE=0A several times on a "* CP M" JCL statement causing the job cancellations.
Looking at the Messages and Codes manual for return codes for MGCRE I found the following description:
08 10 REDISPLAY command rejected due to shortage of 24-bit system GETVIS storage.
This did not made any sense. The command was * CP M, not REDISPLAY, and there was no storage shortage of 24-bit system GETVIS (checked with GETVIS SVA command).
So I opened a case (that's the new IBM term to the old PMR term) with IBM.
The quality of service I got from IBM was no less than superb (thanks Jens and Ronald).
I got the full explanation and the suggestion how to avoid it 4 hours after I opened the case.
It was caused by a storage shortage, but not of 24-bit system GETVIS.
It actually means "console router waiting for buffers" (Messages and Codes manual should be changed).
Console buffers handling is described in the z/VSE Hints and Tips manual in chapter 4 under the section CORCMD.
This command can show the current buffer usage (CORCMD STATUS=QUEUE) or change it (CORCMD GVLIMRI=nnnn).
