(why is that an 'E' level message?)
"E" here is not "ERROR", it's "Eventual Action", which is the "F OMVS,RESTART"
command.
Ah! Of course - I'd forgotten IBM use the same suffix to mean different things. I do find
it odd, though, that this is considered that way - there's plenty of other address spaces
that you might consider "eventual action" - RACF (or any other ESM) for
example..
Thanks,
Once upon a time (apparently pre-z/OS V1R3) OMVS was not restartable, so
they probably added the message as an E message to let the operator know
that it was restartable.
