Return codes from the RACROUTE REQUEST=VERIFY(X) postprocessing exit

When the RACROUTE REQUEST=VERIFY(X) postprocessing exit routine returns control, register 15 should contain one of the following return codes:

Code: Meaning
0: Continue with RACROUTE REQUEST=VERIFY(X) processing. If the exit routine changes the values of the return code or the abend code (from zero to a nonzero value), REQUEST=VERIFY(X) uses the changed values.
4: Try the RACROUTE request again; invoke the REQUEST=VERIFY(X) preprocessing exit routine. Any values in the return- or abend-code fields are ignored, and the fields are reset to zero. Other fields are not affected. In particular, the INSTLN value is not reinitialized; this preserves any information placed in it by the preprocessing or postprocessing exit routine.

Note: If register 15 contains any other value, RACROUTE REQUEST=VERIFY(X) issues an abend code (383) that indicates a non-valid exit return code.

The REQUEST=VERIFY(X) macro might have updated the user's entry with new password information. In this case, attempts to retry the RACROUTE request without adjusting the input parameters accordingly might cause REQUEST=VERIFY(X) failure.

Do not confuse return codes from the RACROUTE REQUEST=VERIFY(X) postprocessing exit routine with the return codes from the RACROUTE REQUEST=VERIFY(X) macro, which are documented in z/OS Security Server RACROUTE Macro Reference.
