Address of a 6-word parameter list

Word 5 (+16): Address of a CNMB to be processed by the converter. If you want to pass a message(s) that the C/I will include in the JCLMSG data set for the job, this must contain the address of the CNMB (see z/OS MVS Data Areas for information about the IEFCNMB macro).

Return code

A return code of:

0: Tells JES2 that if any additional exit routines are associated with this exit, execute the next consecutive exit routine. If there are no more exit routines associated with this exit point, continue with normal JES2 processing. If the exit routine was called when register 0 contains a X'00", normal processing is the conversion of the next JCL statement. If the exit routine was called when register 0 contains a X'04', normal processing is to queue the job for execution.
4: Tells JES2 to ignore any additional exit routines associated with this exit for this C/I text and continue with normal processing. If the exit routine was called when register 0 contains a X'00' normal JES2 processing is the conversion of the next JCL statement. If the exit routine was called when register 0 contained a X'04', normal JES2 processing is to queue the job for execution.
8: Tells JES2 to bypass execution and cancel the job; the job is queued for output rather than for execution. Conversion will continue until all JCL has been converted.
