The amount of unused virtual storage in the work area has just been exhausted. IEBCOPY will try to use a spill data set to hold what can not be retained in the work area.
Should the spill data set not be present or be too small or another problem arise then this message may be the only message to inform you about what IEBCOPY was doing at the time of failure.
The severity is 0.
IEBCOPY proceeds to open the spill data set.
Look for message IEB1051I which follows later after successful completion of the current operation.
If message IEB120I or other data set related messages follow this message then look for problems related to the spill data set.
