Return Codes from MSGDISP

z/OS DFSMSdfp Advanced Services
SC23-6861-01

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 can contain a reason code. These codes are described in the following table:

Return Code Reason Code Meaning
0 (X'00')   Successful completion.
4 (X'04')   Device does not support MSGDISP.
8 (X'08') 1 (X'01') Invalid input parameter.
  2 (X'02') Invalid DCB or DEBCHK error.
  3 (X'03' Environmental error.
  4 (X'04') Authorization (TESTAUTH) violation.
  5 (X'05')   Invalid UCB. Requires the address of a UCB, not a UCB copy.
  6 (X'06') Invalid request.
  11 (X'0B') Unsuccessful ESTAE macro call.
  12 (X'0C') Unsuccessful GETMAIN request.
12 (X'0C')   I/O error (The system posted the request for an error).

An I/O error occurs for load display if the drive display has a hardware failure.

If you get return code X'04' or X'0C' on a RESET UCBL operation, when you regain control, register 1 points to the UCB associated with the error.
