When the system returns control to the problem program, the low-order byte of register 15 contains a return code. The low-order byte of register 0 contains a reason code.

The BSP return and reason codes are:

00 (X'00') 00 (X'00') Successful completion.
04 (X'04') 01 (X'01') A backspacing request was ignored on a SYSIN or SYSOUT data set.
04 (X'04') 02 (X'02') Backspace not supported for this device type.
04 (X'04') 03 (X'03') Backspace failed; insufficient virtual storage was available.
