Error handling

After a command finishes processing, a return code is displayed or logged to provide the success or failure of the command.

The pdadmin command has the following return code values:
0
The command that completed successfully.
1
The command failed. When a command fails, the pdadmin command displays a description of the error and an error status code in hexadecimal format (for example, 0x14c012f2).

See Error messages in the IBM® Knowledge Center. This reference provides a list of the Verify Identity Access error messages by decimal or hexadecimal codes.

For information about how to use the message number that is associated with a message to display only the descriptive text, see errtext.
