File-AID/MVS return codes

When an error is detected, all processing on the accessed data set stops unless the error is ignored. All subsequent control cards for the erroneous data set are checked for validity and then bypassed. The decimal return codes issued by File-AID always reflect the highest error detected during execution. File-AID return codes are described below.

Return Codes

Code

Description

00

All functions completed with success.

04

  1. Found an error while decoding a control card. After printing an error message on SYSPRINT, File-AID skips to the next valid control card.
  2. Issued a warning message for a VSAM dataset. After logging the warning on SYSPRINT, File-AID attempts to process the data set.
  3. One or more records were truncated in a COPY operation.
  4. FORM=JCL is specified for processing a PDS and the continued portion of a continued JCL statement is missing. The member(s) is identified on SYSLIST. File-AID processing halts for the member(s) at the location of the missing continuation. As a result, the member(s) does not complete processing.
  5. No VTOC information produced during any VTOC function (VTOCDSN, VTOCINFO, or VTOCMAP).

08

  1. No valid input or output DD statements match a control card. The invalid DD name prints on SYSPRINT and File-AID skips to the next valid control card.
  2. No records copied to the output dataset during a COPY, DROP or USER function.
  3. No File-AID load module loaded when executing either COMPARE or any VTOC function.
  4. Your system does not allow this function. Check SYSPRINT for error information. File-AID stops processing the current function and continues with the next valid control statement.
  5. File-AID is unable to compile the specified record layout for FPRINT, RLPRINT, VPRINT, or XRPRINT. File-AID stops processing the current function and continues with the next valid control statement, or for XRPRINT, File-AID completes the function without the record layout.

12

File-AID detected an I/O error, while reading or writing a data set, or encountered an abend. Check SYSPRINT for error information. Depending on the error, File-AID either continues processing the current and subsequent functions or stops processing the current function and continues with the next valid control statement.

16

Open for SYSIN failed. Processing stops.

24

File-AID is unable to dynamically allocate SYSPRINT. Processing stops. Add //SYSPRINT to job stream.

28

Open for SYSPRINT failed. Processing stops.

32

File-AID is unable to dynamically allocate SYSLIST. Processing stops. Add //SYSLIST to job stream.

36

Open for SYSLIST failed. Processing stops.

40

Open for SYSTOTAL failed. Processing stops. .

44

Specified an invalid parameter on the JCL EXEC card. Processing stops. Check the values in the EXEC card.

48

Entered a bad access code. Processing stops.

52

Attempted to print invalid audit trail file. Processing stops. Specify a valid audit trail file name.

102

Attempted to print unformatted audit trail report, but was unable to load the print program - FAAUNPR. Possible install error - check installation steps.

126

Load failed for FACOMMON. Processing stops.

128

Internal File-AID error occurred. Processing stops.

129

Internal error processing security occurred. Processing stops.

255

BMC security failed. Processing stops.
