PRINTER memory segment error

Has anyone seen this warning before ?

PRINTER memory segment removed
DataStage Job 1822 Phantom 26741
DataStage Phantom Finished

this job used to run without any warnings but all of a sudden we see a warning about PRINTER memory. Seem really weird. The job did finish though.

It's not an error, it's really an informational message.
Each DataStage phantom (background process) is allocated a segment in shared memory. For historical reasons, this segment is called the process's "printer shared memory segment". When a process is finished, and another process starts soon afterwards and is allocated the same DataStage user number, the printer shared memory segment from the previous process has to be removed as part of the login procedure for the new process. The message informs you that this has occurred.

How to avoid this error or how to remove the login procedure for the new process?

Make sure everyone always disconnects cleanly.
