Determining the success of SQLIMS statements

When IMS finishes running an SQLIMS statement, IMS sends a return code in the SQLIMSCA structure to indicate whether the operation succeeded or failed. In your program, test the return code and take any necessary action.

About this task

After execution of SQLIMS statements, the content of the RETURN-CODE special register might not be valid. Therefore, even if a program terminates normally after successfully using SQLIMS statements, the job step might end with an undefined return code. To ensure that a meaningful return code is given at termination, set the RETURN-CODE special register before you end the program.
