IPL recording

If the reliability data extractor (RDE) is in effect, the system issues message IFB010D:
id  IFB010D ENTER 'IPL REASON, SUBSYSTEM ID' or 'U'
Message IFB010D requests the operator to provide one of the following:

The IPL reason code, (see Table 1), and the subsystem ID, (see Table 2), are then included in the record when it is written.

Restart continues after either a valid reply or a ‘U’ reply. In the case of a ‘U’ reply, the IPL record is formatted with zeros in the subsystem ID field and a DF (default values) in the IPL reason field.

Table 1. IPL reason codes
Code Reason Description
NM Normal. Normal system initialization.
IE IBM® hardware/programming problem, CE/PSR not required. System restarted after a stop caused by a hardware failure or IBM programming problem, and a customer engineer (CE)/program support engineer (PSR) was not required.
IM IBM hardware/programming problem, CE/PSR required. System restarted after a stop caused by a hardware failure or IBM programming problem, and it was necessary for a CE/PSR to correct problem.
ME Media. An IBM hardware unit failed because of faulty or damaged media, such as a damaged tape or disk.
UN Unknown. An undetermined hardware or software failure.
OP Operational. An operator error or procedural problem.
UP User program. A program other than an IBM supplied control program or programming product failed in such in a way as to cause a system restart.
EN Environmental. A failure other than hardware/software or operational (such as power failure, air conditioning, etc.) caused system to be restarted.
CE CE/PSR has system. System restarted at CE/PSR request to correct problem.
DF Default. Operator replied ‘U’ or entered a null line in response to system message IFB010D.
