What it means

IRR016I means the job was failed by a routine your installation wrote, the RACINIT installation exit, as part of starting the job. That routine decided to reject it.

Because the decision belongs to local code, the message alone does not give the reason. The systems programmer who looks after that exit is the person who can explain it.

Typical causes

  • The site's RACINIT installation exit rejected the job at start-up.
  • The reason is local to the site and is not given in the message.
  • The job was stopped before any step ran, so no program work was done.

How to fix it

  1. Note the job name, user ID and time from the job log.
  2. Report the message to the RACF systems programmer and keep the job output.
  3. Ask the systems programmer to check the RACINIT installation exit and its decision for this job.
  4. Resubmit only after the systems programmer confirms it is safe to do so.
