 Common Technical Question
Question R01
Previous Next
Description The IOF Job List Menu for RUNNING JOBS has a field titled WHY. The name of this field is REASON. This field contains a 3 character abbreviation for WHY a running task is SWAPPED OUT. The SWR (SWAPRSN) field on the IOF System Monitor contains identical information. What do the abbreviations mean?
 
Answer The IOF WHY field is based on field OUCBSRC in the MVS OUCB control block. IOF converts OUCBSRC from a number to a 3 character abbreviation. The characters are based on comments in the OUCB description.

An expanded version of the swap reasons can be found in IOF SOURCE data set member EASYJQE at label "REASON". Beginning with IOF release 7H, this table is:
