Return Codes from PUTGET

When the PUTGET service routine returns control to the program that invoked it, PUTGET provides one of the following return codes in general register 15.

Table 1. Return codes from the PUTGET service routine
Return code dec(Hex)	Meaning
0(0)	PUTGET completed successfully. The line was obtained from either: the REXX data stack, a command procedure DATA-ENDDATA group, or the terminal.
4(4)	PUTGET completed successfully. The line was obtained from an in-storage list or command procedure. (MODE messages only.)
8(8)	The PUTGET service routine did not complete. An attention interruption occurred during the execution of PUTGET, and the attention handler turned on the completion bit in the communications ECB.
12(C)	One of the following situations occurred: No prompting was allowed on a PROMPT request. Either the user at the terminal requested no prompting with the PROFILE command, or the current source of input is an in-storage list other than an EXEC command procedure. A line could not be obtained after a MODE request. Second-level messages exist, and the current stack element is not a terminal, but the terminal user did not request PAUSE processing with the PROFILE command. The messages are, therefore, not available to him.
16(10)	One of the following situations occurred: The NOWAIT option was specified for PUT processing and no line was put out. A barrier element is on top of the stack, the current source of input is a data set, and SUBSTACK=NO was specified or defaulted. No command buffer is passed back.
20(14)	The NOWAIT option was specified for GET processing and no line was received.
24(18)	Incorrect parameters were supplied to the PUTGET service routine.
28(1C)	PUTGET was unable to obtain sufficient storage to satisfy the request for output buffers.
32(20)	The terminal has been disconnected.
40(28)	A barrier element is on the top of the stack and SUBSTACK=YES was specified. No command buffer is passed back.

Note: User abend 204 is issued when the return code from PUTGET is greater than 12 and less than 40.
