IRA401E
return-code,CRITICAL PAGEABLE STORAGE SHORTAGE

Explanation

The system detected a critical shortage of pageable processor storage frames.

In the message text:
return-code
The return-code indicates the type of the detected shortage. The order in the list below indicates how severe the shortage is. The most severe type is at the top of the list. The possible values for return-code are as follows:
03
Pageable frames below 16 megabytes shortage
04
Pageable frames between 16 megabytes and 2 gigabytes shortage
02
Pageable frames in real storage shortage
01
Pageable to auxilary (PTA) frames in processor storage shortage because of too many DREF and fixed frames.

System action

The system rejects LOGON, MOUNT, and START commands. and keeps initiators selecting new jobs from running until the shortage is relieved. The system swaps out the current in-storage address space with the greatest number of fixed frames. The address space remains swapped out until the shortage is relieved.

The system writes message IRA403E to identify the heavy fixed page user.

System programmer response

Examine users of V=R storage and other jobs that have heavy page fix requirements for possible looping or for extraordinary page fix needs. Correct any errors.
