This return code indicates that an operation was not successful but should be requested again. The RPL does not contain any further information. The program should issue an EXECRPL macroinstruction using the same RPL. The parameters in the RPL do not apply to the EXECRPL request itself but to the original request already specified in the REQ field of the RPL (in other words, the RPL associated with the request that is to be retried). The EXECRPL simply retries the request.

An error on retrying an operation can cause LERAD or SYNAD to be entered again. So that this situation can be recognized, a flag can be set before issuing the EXECRPL or other RPL-based macroinstruction. See Procedures to follow in writing exit routines.
