User, System, and RTS ABEND Handling

If a user or system abend occurs, MFBSIJCL returns the decimal value of the user or system status code by default. If this value is greater than 199, MFBSIJCL returns a final return code 16. Otherwise, the return code corresponds to the status code. For example, a user abend with return code 12 returns code 12.

A user, JCL, or RTS abend can return a specified return code to the scheduler. In the MFBSI configuration file, the parameters SYS-ABEND-RC, USR-ABEND-RC, and RTS-ABEND-RC can be set to force the OS return code to be returned to the scheduler. SYS-ABEND-RC USR-ABEND-RC, and RTS-ABEND-RC cannot be set on the command line for MFBSIJCL.

This table shows some of the specific OS codes returned from MFBSIJCL.

Return Code	Description
200-250	Indicates an error specific to MFBSIJCL, such as `MFBSI_DIR` not set, unknown or missing parameters, or error during job submission (CASSUB/CASOUT). See the topic on specific return codes issued by MFBSIJCL for descriptions of each return code.
208	JES/JCL error detected.
209	Job submission failed (See JobLog output).
211	Job ended, no numeric RC returned.
0-16	Error code returned by Enterprise Server/MSS JCL (job execution).
0	Execution successful.
16	Unsuccessful job execution.

To get the full list of MFBSI-specific return codes, execute mfbsijcl /rc from an Enterprise Developer command prompt .

In the job log written by MFBSIJCL, either in SJobId.Log, JOB####.Log, or via STDOUT, JCLSI messages provide additional information. For example:

JCLSI0013E JOB????? => Rc:213 Configuration parameter unknown in MFBSI.cfg
JCLSI0014E JOB????? Parameter: ES_Server=-rES
JCLSI0077I JOB Ended with OS RC=0213. 13:12:59
JCLSI0028E JOB????? => Rc:243 In MFBSI_DIR,"regionName.Started" not found.
JCLSI0077I JOB Ended with OS RC=0243. 14:09:33
JCLSI0050I JOB01039 IEFBR14 JOB Concluded. (SYS=00002054 Reason=00000000 )[Job abended] 14:12:38

where 2054 (decimal) = x'806' (Program not found).

The purpose of these messages is to allow additional scheduler error processing.
