Information retrieval error code (S99EERR)

A two-byte code that the system returns to explain errors found in information retrieval text units of dynamic allocation. This two-byte code applies only to verb code 01, described in Non-JCL dynamic allocation functions. See Interpreting DYNALLOC return codes for an explanation of the codes.

If there was a text unit in error, the field S99EINFO (described in Information retrieval information code (S99EINFO)) will contain the text unit key.

The S99EERR code does not indicate whether the allocation was successful. The system indicates allocation errors in the request block fields S99ERROR and S99INFO. These fields are described in Error code (S99ERROR) and Info code (S99INFO).
