I wrote a jcl that copies a PS to a GDG. The job returned a MAXX CC 12 but it has created the GDG copy as well.
I wanted to know when does IDCAMS return a code 12.

I dont have the sysout with me. It was purged in production.
The sysout read MAX CC 12

I can only assume that the idcams was intended to do more than one thing. Did the copy fully finished the copy?

Can you rerun to obtain the sysout?

Problems easily solved with the right information can be impossible to understand without it.

Hi,
I finally found out the reason. After the REPRO command in the jcl, i had specified the delimiter(/*) and a comment statement(//*).
But instead of coding these from the first column, i had coded them in the 4th coulmn.
So IDCAMs after executing the REPRO tried executing these lines as part of its commands and returned as MAXX CC 12.

Regards,
