Feedback Codes

$DSCALL returns a feedback code that further qualifies the return codes 0 and 4 as described above. The feedback code is returned in variable &$DSFDBK.

Some feedback codes represent successful completion of the function and may be for information only. For example, feedback code 9 represents the normal end of file condition when a READ operation reaches the end of a file or member.

Note: A detailed description of the meaning of a feedback code is contained in the online help for the message. To display the online help, enter the message ID at the OCS command line and press the help function key (PF1).
