Interpreting binder return codes properly
Some binder return codes can be safely ignored while others cannot.
The following table lists the acceptable return codes from the various binder processes:
| Type of SMP/E processing | Return code | How to interpret |
|---|---|---|
| APPLY | 0 | Do not ignore unresolved external references. The exception is binds into SMPLTS. |
| ACCEPT | 4 | You can safely ignore unresolved external references. |
| System Definition STAGE 2 | 0 | Do not ignore unresolved external references. |
Recommendation: Point to a different
utility entry in SMP/E for APPLY and ACCEPT processing.
