Mike,
The answer to your original question on what the return code '2C' means in the message OPS1852E is:
This is a REXX error 44 (after translating it to decimal) and it indicates that a "Function did not return any data".
This error is documented via CA OPS/MVS informational messahe OPS1044I.
I have added an excerpt from our Message guide for that message:
OPS1044I ERROR 44 process rxpgna, LINE lno: FUNCTION DID NOT RETURN DATA
Explanation: An external function has been invoked within an expression, but even though it appeared to end without error, it did not return data for use within the expression.
Action: Examine the program and correct the error.
Mike, as suggested in my prior posts we can help you further via a Customer Support case so we can go over your code and Global Variables setup to identify the issue.
Most likely your problem is that you are trying to manipulate Global Variables and they either do not exist (you can create them using the OPSVALUE function) or the criteria you are using to access them is not finding the name/stems you are exepecting to get back. This is just ia an educated guess based on the meaning of the return code.
I can give you a phone call to discuss this further Mike.
Feel free to email me at cesar.molina@ca.com so I have your contact information.
Hope this information helps resolve your problem.
Regards, Cesar
