Receiving Responses from Cross-System Commands

When cross-system commands are directed to z/VM systems, the command response is returned to the issuer followed by one of these prompts:

Ready;
Ready(rc);
Ready(rc); NO REPLY TEXT
Ready(rc); REPLY TRUNCATED BY nnnnn BYTES

The Ready; prompt includes a return code (rc) only if the CP command or CA MIM command generated a non-zero return code.

Message text is appended to the Ready; prompt when the command does not generate a response, or when the response to the command is too large to fit in the response buffer. For more information about return codes, see the Message Reference Guide.
