CA$F998I

task-id COMPLETE. RC = nnnnnnnn

Reason:

This message is a notification that a task has completed. If RC is not equal to zero, CTS attempts to create a dump. If the RETRY count is not zero, CTS attempts to restart the task.

task-id

Identifies the task ID.

nnnnnnn

Identifies the return code. The return code is also divided into system and user return codes, RC=xxsssuuu.

xx: Can be ignored.
sss: Specifies a return code that is set by the operating system.
uuu: Specifies the user return code that is set by the program running as a CTS task.

RC=00013000 is a system return indicating a failure opening a data set and resulting in a S013 ABEND.

RC=00000001 is a user return code indicating that CA 1 is not initialized and resulting in a U0001 ABEND.

The Common Tape System (CTS) address space is a generic system for hosting multiple tasks. These tasks do not have to be related to CTS. CTS does not document the return-codes or messages from these tasks. One exception is a user 111 ABEND. The task ABEND’ed because it received a CANCEL command from CTS.

Action:

Locate the program being run and see the documentation for the task that ended.

Follow these steps:

Find the CTSSTART member in the CTS PROC.
Search the member for the SET TASK statement for the task-id in the message.

For example, if the task-id was APEC, the SET statement is as follows:

SET TASK(APEC) PGM(TMSAPEC) RETRY(0) PARM()

The program is TMSAPEC. See the documentation for TMSAPEC.
