if
Something Goes Wrong
System Failures
System failures are errors detected in the IBM Personal
Computer XT
/370
hardware or in the
VM/PC
software.
They can be detected during the
VM/PC
startup or at any
time during normal
VM/PC
processing. Whenever a system
failure
is
detected, you will be notified in two ways.
The Session Selection Menu will be updated to indicate
an error
on
the Local 3277 Session. The Session
Selection Menu will instruct you to select the Local 3277
Session for more information. When you select the
Local 3277 Session, you will see the message listed
below.
• When the Local 3277 Session
is
active, the following
message will be shown:
Local 3277

If
you receive this message, press the

key to attempt
a retry.
If
the retry
is

restarted. Your last entries may be lost and may be
entered again. Any remote sessions which were active
will not be affected.
If
the retry
is
unsuccessful, you must take some further
action. Refer to the procedures below or call your
