If you enter a TSO command, CLIST, or REXX exec on the Command line, a default message appears in the Message field. The message is in this format:
XXXXXXXX  RC=#
where:
XXXXXXXX
is the command entered
#
is the return code from the command

If you enter a z/OS UNIX command, the completion status is indicated by one of these messages being displayed in the Message field:

Ended xxx
Command has ended with a return code of xxx
Terminated xxx
Command has terminated due to signal xxx
Stopped xxx
Command has stopped due to signal xxx
Timed out
The elapsed running time of the command exceeded the specified time limit. ISPF sent a SIGKILL signal to terminate the process.

Perm
The file or subdirectory permissions, in octal format. The permissions are displayed as three octal (range 0-7) digits. The first digit defines the access permission for the file owner. The second digit defines the access permission for any member of the file's group. The third digit defines the access permission for anyone else. Table 1 shows the values and associated permissions for the octal digits:
Table 1. Octal permission values

0 None
1 Search (or execute)
2 Write
3 Write and search (or execute)
4 Read
5 Read and search (or execute)
6 Read and write
7 Read, write and search (or execute)

If there are extended access control list (ACL) entries defined for the file or subdirectory, the character + is displayed after the octal value.

Permissions
The file or subdirectory permissions, in symbolic format. There are three groups of three characters. The first group describes owner permissions; the second describes group permissions; and the third describes other (or "world") permissions. The characters that may appear in each group are:
r
Permission to read the file
w
Permission to write to the file
x
Permission to execute the file

These characters can appear in the execute (third) position of each group:

s
If in owner permissions group, the set-user-ID bit is on; if in group permissions section, the set-group-ID bit is on.

Same as s except the execute bit is off.

Note: You can specify whether permissions are to be displayed in octal or symbolic format on the z/OS UNIX Directory List Options panel.
