This means that some of the system information that is saved in the checkpoint (most likely) and/or warm start areas during shutdown was not saved correctly and therefore cannot be restored, so the WARM start cannot complete. FORCE will cause the system to restore whatever it can out of what was saved in these areas. For instance, if the error was in the checkpoint area (possibly overflowed), then the spool file information will still be restored from the warm start area. If the duplicate volume has the same volser as the volume that contains the checkpoint and warmstart areas that were used at shutdown, you could get this message. In this case, none of the checkpoint and warm start data would be restored if you continue with a FORCE start. John Franciscovich z/VM Development
