Return codes

These return codes are possible if a panel is specified:

0: Normal completion. The END command was entered from the selected menu.
4: Normal completion. The RETURN command was entered or the EXIT option was specified from the selected menu or from some lower-level menu.
12: The specified panel could not be found.
16: Truncation error in storing the ZCMD or ZSEL variable.
20: Severe error.

Note:

A return code of 0 is returned when the SELECT service has been coded with no other parameters.
If a command or program is invoked by using SELECT, the return code from the command or program is passed to the function that invoked SELECT.

These return codes are possible from a MODAL workstation command:

20: Parameter or syntax on SELECT service (all SELECTs) is not valid.
41: A null command was passed to the workstation.
42: ISPF was not able to start the command at the workstation.
43: Remote execution of commands was not allowed by the user.
OTHER: The return code from the workstation command + 100 if the return code from the workstation command was > 0.
