To display the long message, press the Help function key (F1).

The message provides the userid and transaction associated with the active CICS enqueue, along with the enqueue resource name that is preventing the FM/CICS session from issuing an enqueue with the same name.

To find more information about the CICS enqueue:

  1. Select the List option (3.4) from the Utility Functions panel to display the List CICS Resources Entry panel.
  2. On the List CICS Resources Entry panel:
    1. Specify the name of the CICS enqueue resource that you want more information about in the Resource name input field.
    2. Select option 4, Enqueue, from the Processing Options list.
    3. Press Enter.
    FM/CICS displays a list of all active CICS enqueues that match the specified resource name on the CICS Enqueue Selection List panel.
