AFAIK there is no system-supplied function that will generate this message
nor take this action (what is the message ID associated with this?).  I
would look for a "never-ending" job that's taking these actions for you.

First step to identifying the true culprit:  (Press HELP (or F1) on one of
the error messages; press F9.  What is the "FROM JOB" ?  If you work with
that job, what program is it running?  What is the program that sent the
message?  Can you manipulate that program and/or hold/end that job?  (I'd be
careful of holding or ending that job, though, until I had a better idea of
what else it might be doing.)
