Return code from ADDRESS

[nospam....@jsqpost3.bis.adp.com]

I am executing the following statement:

address tso "CALL 'PDX01.SYASYA.C0101202.LOAD1(VSAMPI)' '"code"'"

95% of the time I execute with no problem. (Be aware that execution is
recursive through the APPL.)

Occaisionally, and I have not been able to detwermine any unique
circumstances at this point, I receive an +++RC(-196). I think this
return code is from MVS, but I cannot find out what is causing it.

Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

Dear nospam (heh heh),
The negative return code suggests that it is indeedt being returned from the
operating system. -196 sounds familiar but I can't remember what it is off the
top of my head. Try looking at the SYSLOG for more specific messages - I bet you
find something there.
Hope this helps :-)

When a program that you invoke experiences a system ABEND, REXX takes the
abend code, converts it to decimal, changes it to the negative of that value.

Thus -196 translates to an abend 0C4. The SYSLOG may contain an indicative
dump, or you may have to set a SLIP to gather information on what exactly is
going bad.
