Return codes for the OPERATOR SEND exits

Table 1 shows the standard return codes that all of the OPERATOR SEND exits support.

Table 1. Standard return codes that all OPERATOR SEND exits support
Return code (decimal)	Description
0	Exit processing was successful. OPERATOR SEND processing continues.
12	Exit processing was unsuccessful. OPERATOR SEND issues an error message to the user and then terminates processing. If the exit uses return code 12, it can also pass back an exit reason code to the OPERATOR SEND subcommand processor. For more information about the reason code, see Exit reason code.
16	Exit processing was unsuccessful. OPERATOR SEND terminates processing without displaying a message to the user.

In addition to the standard return codes, several OPERATOR SEND exits support additional return codes. Table 2 lists these exits and return codes.

Table 2. Additional return codes for OPERATOR SEND exits
Exit	Return code (decimal)	Description
Pre-display	4	Do not display the SEND message.
Pre-save	4	Do not store the SEND message.

If your OPERATOR SEND exits return an unsupported return code, the SEND subcommand processor terminates without displaying a message to the user.
