The SMSVSAM address space is the server for VSAM RLS.
The following return and reason codes from SMSVSAM might appear in messages issued by CICS®, CICSVR, and DFSMSdss. They might also include ERRDATA, that can be used to explain the return and reason code information.
For return codes from VSAM O/C/EOV and record management macros, see VSAM OPEN/CLOSE/End-of-Volume return and reason codes and VSAM record management return and reason codes.
Contact IBM® Customer Support for errors with return code DEC 36 (X'24'). A system dump might have been taken.
Return code 4 is given for information errors.
Return code 8 can indicate an error using the SMSVSAM interfaces (application logic error) or setup problems (such as missing RACF® authority).
Server-not-available type errors indicate that the SMSVSAM server was not active at the time the request was made, and are not an error condition.
