The following list contains the ARCTEEXT return codes. You must put one of these codes, in binary, into the area pointed to at offset 08 on the parameter list.

Return Code

Description

00 (X'00')

The tape volumes do not remain in a library and are not intended to be in a library.

DFSMShsm again validates that the needed tapes are not located in a library, or that the needed tapes are all located within a single library. If the tapes are not in a library, DFSMShsm allocates a tape drive that is not associated with a library. If the tapes are all in a single library, DFSMShsm allocates a tape drive associated with that library.

This exit will not be reinvoked for this tape drive allocation.

04 (X'04')

The tape volumes have now been moved by the customer into a library.

DFSMShsm again validates that all needed tapes are located within a single library. If the tapes are not all in a single library, DFSMShsm reinvokes this exit until they all are, or until the return code from this exit is something other than 04 (X'04').

08 (X'08')

The request fails without an allocation.
