EKCWAIT

If your task is waiting on a resource type of EKCWAIT, it has been suspended by the transaction manager.

EKCWAIT indicates that a task has issued an EXEC CICS WAIT EVENT command. If the wait is prolonged, you should identify the event being waited on, and:

  • Check that the EXEC CICS WAIT EVENT command specified the correct event.

  • Check for problems with the task that should be completing the work for the specified event. It might be waiting or looping, it might have a performance problem, or it might have failed completely.

If the resource type is EKCWAIT and the EXEC CICS WAIT EVENT command included the NAME option, the specified name is the resource name. For programming information about the NAME option of the WAIT EVENT command, see the CICS Application Programming Reference manual.
