Passing command line parameters

In C/370™ Version 1 or Version 2, if an error was detected with the parameters being passed to the main program, the program terminated with a return code of 8 and a message indicating the reason the program terminated. For example, if there was an error in the redirection parameters, the message would indicate that the program had terminated because of a redirection error. Under Language Environment, the same message is displayed, but the program also terminates with a 4093 abend, reason code 52 (X'34'). For more information about reason codes, see z/OS Language Environment Debugging Guide.
