HD Pointer Checker return codes

Edit online

HD Pointer Checker modules generate return codes to indicate the result of a job.

Subsections:

FABPMAIN

The following list shows the return codes set by FABPMAIN.

Code
Meaning
0
Successfully completed. Your database data sets were successfully processed by FABPMAIN. It does not mean that the database is error-free. Your database is valid from an IMS standpoint when TYPE=ALL or CHECK is specified.
2
Successfully completed; defined unknown data (T2) was detected. One of the HD Pointer Checker programs detected an unknown data error that is defined by T2NUM and T2LEN. This return code is issued only when unknown data and no other errors are detected.
4
Successfully completed; database errors were detected. One of the HD Pointer Checker programs detected a database error.
8
Did not complete successfully; control statement errors were detected. HD Pointer Checker ends the job.

The return codes are original values, and they are converted to the value specified in the HPSRETCD statement.

Tip: If you specify an HPSRETCD statement, you can change the return codes. For each return code, see HPSRETCD Statements report.
