RMM TSO subcommand reason codes

DFSMSrmm issues reason codes that are only available in the REXX environment and only if command output is directed to REXX variables. The reason code is set into a fixed variable name by the command processor, EDG@RC. Where line mode output is used in the CLIST or the REXX procedure environment, the RMM TSO subcommand issues an explanatory message instead of setting a reason code. DFSMSrmm sets reason codes only when the return code is 4, 12, or 20.

DFSMSrmm sets reason codes, or returns messages, for return code 20 only when DFSMSrmm processing determines an error other than value range or naming restrictions. In other cases, it is the TSO parse function that provides the information messages for parse errors. See Table 1 for command abbreviations that are also used in Table 1.

Table 1 lists the reason codes issued by DFSMSrmm when return code 4, 12, or 20 is issued. The table also lists related messages that can provide additional information about the error. DFSMSrmm messages can be found in z/OS MVS System Messages, Vol 5 (EDG-GFS).
