Return and Reason Codes

The following return codes are returned in the OPSRC variable. Associated reason codes are returned in the OPSRE variable.

0 – Successful completion.

1 -- Error in OPS/MVS related processing

Reason codes:

• 2 – parsing error
• 4 – GREXX variable creation error

  Note: if the creation of OPSRC or OPSRE variable fails, then this message will be generated: “CLIST/REXX variable access error, RC=4, detected at OPSJESX+X'nnnnnnnn'”, where nnnnnnnn is offset in OPSJESX module.

• 8 – Invalid AOF rule detected
• 12 - The subsystem is not active
• 16 - A serious product control block error

Note: If an ABEND occurs, the ABEND code will be used as the reason code. The ABEND code can be eight hexadecimal numbers.

2 – Subsystem error as reported by IBM IEFSSREQ processing.

Reason codes:

Note: The reason codes below correspond to the IBM IEFSSREQ return codes as documented in the IBM manual z/OS Using the Subsystem Interface. For more information, see the IBM manual.

• 4 - The specified subsystem does not support the extended status function call.
• 8 - The specified subsystem exists but is not active.
• 12 - The specified subsystem is not defined to MVS.
• 16 - The function code 80 (Extended Status Function Call) is greater than the maximum number of functions supported by the specified subsystem.
• 20 - Either the SSIB control block or the SSOB control block has incorrect lengths or formats.
• 24 - The SSI has not been initialized.

Note: The return codes below (RC=4 and higher) correspond to the SSOBRETN return codes for the Extended Status Function Call (SSI 80) as documented in the IBM manual z/OS MVS Using the Subsystem Interface. Refer to the IBM manual for more information.

4 – search argument error – the search arguments cannot be used as specified

8 – search argument logic error – the reason code further explains the logic error

• The reason code values correspond directly to the STATREAS value returned for the Extended Status Function Call (SSI 80) as documented in the IBM manual z/OS MVS Using the Subsystem Interface. Due to the significant number of possible values, they are not documented individually here. Please see the IBM z/OS MVS Using the Subsystem Interface manual for the specific codes and their meanings.

12 – Request type error – the request type in STATTYPE is not valid.
