Return and Reason Codes

When the IWMEREG macro returns control to your program:

GPR 15 (and retcode, when you code RETCODE) contains a return code.
When the value in GPR 15 is not zero, GPR 0 (and rsncode, when you code RSNCODE) contains reason code.

The following table identifies the hexadecimal return and reason codes and the equate symbol associated with each reason code. IBM® support personnel may request the entire reason code, including the xxxx value.

Table 33. Return and Reason Codes for the IWMEREG Macro
Return Code	Reason Code	Equate Symbol, Meaning, and Action
0	—	Equate Symbol: IwmRetCodeOk Meaning: Successful completion. Action: None required.
8	—	Equate Symbol: IwmRetCodeInvocError Meaning: Invalid invocation environment or parameters.
8	xxxx0803	Equate Symbol: IwmRsnCodeDisabled Meaning: Caller is disabled. Action: Avoid requesting this function while disabled.
8	xxxx0804	Equate Symbol: IwmRsnCodeLocked Meaning: The caller is locked. Action: Avoid requesting this function while locked.
8	xxxx080B	Equate Symbol: IwmRsnCodeBadPl Meaning: Error accessing parameter list. Action: Check for possible storage overlay.
8	xxxx0824	Equate Symbol: IwmRsnCodeAmode24 Meaning: The caller invoked the service but was in 24-bit addressing mode. Action: Request this function only when you are in 31-bit addressing mode.
8	xxxx0828	Equate Symbol: IwmRsnCodeBadVersion Meaning: Version number in parameter list is not valid. Action: Check for possible storage overlay of the parameter list.
8	xxxx083A	Equate Symbol: IwmRsnCodeBadEnclave Meaning: Enclave token does not pass verification. Action: Check for possible storage overlay of the enclave token, or asynchronous events which may have deleted the enclave.
8	xxxx0882	Equate Symbol: IwmRsnCodeTooManyRegistrations Meaning: There are too many concurrent registrations requested. Action: There is a resource shortage. The function may work successfully at a later time.
10	—	Equate Symbol: IwmRetCodeCompError Meaning: Component error. Action: No action required. The function may be successful if invoked again.
