  ****************************************************************
  The NetView recovery and retry logic for some modules is not
  capturing the return code from the NetView DSIESTAE macro when
  an error (abend) is handled by the DSIESTAE macro. This leaves
  the return code set to zero causing the subsequent code to
  follow a path intended only for a successful completion of the
  preceding code. This path may eventually discover the error and
  issue messages (e.g. msgDWO050E and msgDWO970I) indicating a
  problem or possibly result in various abends. For example if a
  PIPE QSAM stage QSAM OPEN fails, the OPEN return code remains
  zero. Then the QSAM stage proceeds to do a QSAM GET which fails
  because the file was not opened. This results in the reported
  DWO050E message. If the QSAM PIPE stage is the one used by the
  PFKDEF command and it references an empty PFK definition member,
  the reported DWO970I message may also be issued and the PF keys
  may not get set.
  Other possible NetView components affected include (but are not
  limited to):
  - the following PIPE stages: MEMLIST, PPI, TSO, and UNIX.
  - REXX program termination where the EXECIO command was used
    without a FINIS argument and EXECIO command usage in general
    where errors are encountered.
  - the REXX STORAGE function when attempting to reference
    unallocated storage.
  These problems are the result of the erroneous fix for APAR
  OA43146/PTF UA71612.
  

Problem conclusion

• Code in various parts are being changed to correctly set the
  return code from the DSIESTAE macro.
