Kevin,
I searched IBMLINK for "activate 016b" and found 2 possiblilities:
II08927 - MSGIOS500I IOS5000I RC 16B 016B
OA11862 - H/W ACTIVATE FAILS DUE TO WRONG SUBCHANNEL SET ID
The only PTF for OA11862 is: UA19349 ( for z/OS R7 only ). The example of
the message in the APAR was:
MSGIOS1500I REASON=016B,CAN NOT DELETE DEVICE(S) ddddd
FROM CSS c
DESCTEXT=SYSTEM ERROR - DIAGNOSTIC INFO 4015 010A 01
The message you received didn't have the "FROM CSS c" information nor did it
have the "DIAGNOSTIC INFO 4015 010A 01"
If your z/OS is R7, then maybe the APAR might apply.
If not, maybe the INFO APAR: II08927 might apply.
