I have opened an RFE on IBMPDSE to send a message to JOBLOG based on the Return code.
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=107724 There are 5 Return codes at this time 00 (X'00') SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION. 04 (X'04') THE INPUT PDSE IS SLIGHTLY DAMAGED. PROCESSING CONTINUES. 08 (X'08') THE INPUT PDSE IS CORRUPTED. THE UTILITY ENDS. 12 (X'0C') THE INPUT PDSE COULD NOT BE OPENED. THE UTILITY ENDS. 16 (X'10') THE INPUT DATA SET IS NOT A PDSE. THE UTILITY ENDS Some (at least RC16) does not return anything to SYSPRINT so you need to look it up. My request is to send a one liner RC message to the Joblog so you 1) Do not need to look it up or have it documented in the JCL 2) Provide a mechanism so that if you are do a batch of validations for PDSE datasets, you could have your automation took look for and action the message + RC as needed The suggested format for the message is Msgid DSN: dsn_name RC_rc text So for 16 Msgid DSN: dsn_name RC 16 Input dataset not a PDSE Thanks Lizette Koehler statistics: A precise and logical method for stating a half-truth inaccurately ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
