7. RETURN CODES AND MESSAGES › 7.1 Return Codes Description

7.1 Return Codes Description

VCC produces return or condition codes upon execution
completion as an aid in checking the success of its
processing. The possible return codes are listed below by the
primary modules that provide the return codes to the
Operating System:


VCCNTRL and VCCMAIN Return codes

     0   Successful completion with no errors encountered.

     4   One or more warning messages were issued. This
         return code is intended to alert you to the need to
         analyze the VCC output Message log(s) for possible
         errors that may affect the results of the CA MICS
         Space Analyzer run (VCA).  Because of the various
         ways in which control keywords may modify the
         processing of VCC, such as VTOCERR, VSAMERR,
         EXCLUDEVOL, etc, you may need to examine the output
         Message log(s) and VCC statistics reports to
         determine if this is a complete and successful run.
         Because CA MICS (VCA) will reject data set level
         records that do not have associated volume level
         records, this data collection run can be ignored.

     8   An error has occurred. In most cases the data
         collection is incomplete. Analyze the VCC output
         Message log(s) to determine the cause of the error,
         repair it and rerun VCC or contact CA Technical
         Support.

    12   A severe environmental error has occurred. Check the
         VCC output message log(s) and the Job log to
         determine the cause of the error. Ensure that all
         required JCL statements are properly specified.
         After the cause of the error is corrected, rerun
         VCC.  If the problem persists contact CA Technical
         Support.

    16   A severe operational error has occurred. Check the
         Job Log and other output to determine the cause of
         the error.  Ensure that all required JCL statements
         are properly specified.  This return code is usually
         issued when VCC was not installed properly.  Review
         both jobs and installation procedures used to
         install VCC.  After correcting the problem, rerun
         VCC.  If the problem persists contact CA Technical
         Support.

    20   The required VCCSTATS/SYSPRINT DD statements are not
         found within the JCL, or an abnormal condition
         (ABEND) was detected.  If you are unable to correct
         the problem contact CA Technical Support.


VCCUPDT Return Codes

     0   Successful completion with no errors encountered.

     8   VCCNTROL DD statement is missing.

    12   Open failed for the VCCNTROL data set.

    16   GETMAIN failed for the VCCUPDT work area.


VCCUTIL Return Codes

     0   Successful completion with no errors encountered.

     4   One or more warning messages were issued.

     8   One or more error messages were issued. Processing
         is terminated.  Analyze the VCC Utility output
         Message log (SYSPRINT) to determine the cause of the
         error, repair it and rerun VCC or contact CA
         Technical Support.

    12   A critical error has occurred during processing.

    16   An operational error has occurred.  Ensure that all
         required JCL statements are specified.  This return
         code is usually issued when VCC was not installed
         properly.  Review both jobs and installation
         procedures used to install VCC.  After correcting
         the problem rerun VCC.  If the problem persists
         contact CA Technical Support.

    20   The required SYSPRINT DD statement was not found
         within the JCL or an abnormal condition (ABEND) was
         detected.
