In case all the sharp guys have gone home I will attempt to help you some. It looks like you have message areas defined so the top part of the screen is full with non-scrollable (or is that non-deletable?) messages. You need to clear these, I prefer the 'put the cursor under the * and press enter' approach myself. Once enough of non-scrollable messages have been removed the iee159e should go away. I expect you will see the WTOR you need to reply to before then. Now, this isn't going to fix your JES2 checkpoint problem but should get you to the rest of your messages. Once you get through the IPL I would suggest that you do a K E,D to delete all messages in the area followed by a K A,NONE to make it one big area but this is a preference kind of thing. Some probably like haveing the two areas so the they can get responses to their commands if the console is flodded.
I hope this helps get you to the next step.
