149 TEMPORARY STORAGE WRITE ERROR, CONTINUING

Cause: The pseudo-conversational version of PROIV uses CICS's temporary storage feature for its processing. For some reason, this transaction processing cycle cannot write to temporary storage. CICS returned an error condition on a WRITEQ TS command.

PROIV is still operating as normal except in a non-pseudo-conversational mode. The processing continues normally without information being written to the disk and the transaction stays in active memory. The next transaction processing cycle will attempt to write to temporary storage again which may or may not cause the error message again. Possible causes include the following:

CICS temporary storage file is full because it is defined to be too small or applications are not freeing up unneeded space.

CICS had an I/O error writing to disk.

On CICS version 1.5 or earlier versions, the VSAM CI size is too small because PROIV can write a record up to 24K in length.

Action: Increase either the allocated disk space or the maximum record size of the temporary storage file of CICS.
