Return and Reason Codes

When the IWM4HLTH macro returns control to your program:

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

Return Code	Reason Code	Equate Symbol, Meaning, and Action
0	—	Equate Symbol: IwmRetCodeOk Meaning: Successful completion. Action: None required.
4	—	Equate Symbol: IwmRetCodeWarning Meaning: Successful completion, unusual conditions noted.
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: Caller is locked. Action: Avoid requesting this function while locked.
8	xxxx0807	Equate Symbol: IwmRsnCodeBadSTOKEN Meaning: Bad STOKEN passed. Action: Check for possible storage overlay.
8	xxxx080B	Equate Symbol: IwmRsnCodeBadPl Meaning: Error accessing parameter list. Action: Check for possible storage overlay.
8	xxxx0823	Equate Symbol: IwmRsnCodeDatoff Meaning: The caller invoked the service while DATOFF Action: Avoid requesting this function in this environment.
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	xxxx0825	Equate Symbol: IwmRsnCodeAscModeNotPrimary Meaning: The caller invoked the service but was not DAT on Primary ASC mode. Action: Avoid requesting this function in this environment.
8	xxxx0828	Equate Symbol: IwmRsnCodeBadVersion Meaning: The version number in the parameter list or the version length field is not valid. Or this service was called on a z/OS® release where it is not supported. Action: Check for possible storage overlay of the parameter list.
8	xxxx08A2	Equate Symbol: IwmRsnCodeBadHealth Meaning: Health Value out of range Action: Check for possible storage overlay.
C	—	Equate Symbol: IwmRetCodeEnvError Meaning: Environmental error.
C	xxxx0C01	Equate Symbol: IwmRsnCodeNoStg Meaning: Storage is not available for the request. Action: There is a storage 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.
