Status tab for programs and scripts

You can use the Status tab on the Step Properties page to check the results of a REXX exec program or a UNIX shell script that is run by a step.

Table 1 describes the fields displayed on the Status tab.

Table 1. Fields on the Status tab
Field	Description
Script file	For a program or script that resides in a separate file, this field shows the location of the file (the fully-qualified file path). If the program or script is inline (contained with the step definition), this field is blank.

Status	Status of the script. Valid values are: Success Success message, as defined in the step Failed Failure message, as defined in the step Timeout The program failed to completed within the defined time limit Canceled The script did not complete because it was canceled by the step owner or workflow owner.
Return Variables	If the program created output variables for use elsewhere in the workflow, the variables and their associated values are listed in a tabular format. The variables are saved in the Workflows task variables pool for use with other workflows. Note: Array variables, which are used to map multiple values, are not shown in this table.
Messages	The messages that were issued during program execution are displayed in the field Messages in read-only mode. This field includes messages from the TSO/E service and any messages for the program in the workflow definition file.

You can cancel a program or script while it is running. To do so, click Cancel Script. This action is available only while the program or script is running. This option is disabled after the program or script completes, or if the step is being performed through automation processing.
