z/OS MVS Programming: Writing Transaction Programs for APPC/MVS
SA23-1397-00

When APPC/MVS finds an error in an APPC/MVS conversation, it returns an error return code. Because APPC/MVS return codes are "architected", meaning that they are common to every system that can participate in a SNA network, they provide only general descriptions of errors.

To obtain more detailed descriptions of errors that occur in APPC/MVS conversations, your application can call the Error_Extract service. Error_Extract returns reason codes and messages that further describe errors indicated by APPC/MVS return codes. If your TP is involved in a conversation with a TP that is running on a partner system, Error_Extract returns error log information and a product set identifier, if the partner system does all of the following:

See Diagnosing Problems with APPC/MVS TPs for information about how to use the Error_Extract service.
