MAIL Messages

MAIL Messages

This chapter explains the causes of messages issued by the MAIL facilities in Cisco IOS for S/390 and suggests appropriate responses. It includes these sections:

Lists and describes all SNDMSG messages.
SSMTP Receiver messages that start with the program ID SSMTP.

SNDMSG Messages

This section describes the SNDMSG messages.

Access to Include File Denied file Unable to Find Data Set in Catalog

Explanation    SNDMSG is unable to find the file specified in a .f= statement in the catalog. The parameter file represents the file name from the .f= statement.

Recommended Action    Verify that the file name is correct. Ensure that the file name is in the catalog.

Access to Include File Denied . code reason:

Explanation    The local security system denies read access to the file specified on a .f= statement. code is one of these reason codes from PACCESS: 0 is successful, 5 is failed, 8 is no memory, reason is a reason from the security system.

Recommended Action    Verify that the file name is correct. Ensure that you have read authority for the specified file.

File Error reason in File file

Explanation    A file error was encountered while processing a .f= statement. reason is the reason returned from the file system; file is the file name

Recommended Action    Repair or rebuild the file according to the reason given in the message.

Recursion Error in File FFFF

Explanation    While processing a file (file) specified in a .f= statement, SNDMSG finds a line containing another .f= statement. This recursion is not supported.

Recommended Action    Remove the .f= statement from the file. Manipulate the files separately and include them with multiple .f= statements to SNDMSG. Alternatively, edit and concatenate the files into a single file to be processed by a single .f= statement.

Unable to Open File file Reason reason

Explanation    SNDMSG cannot process a .f= statement in a mail file because it cannot open the file. file is the file name from the .f= statement; reason is the reason returned from the file system

Recommended Action    Verify that the file name exists and is in the catalog. Then use the reason information to determine the reason for the problem.
