| Can anyone tell me how to achieve MAXCC = 4 When the input file is empty for a cobol batch program. |

????
When the program finds the file empty, move a 4 to the special register RETURN-CODE and GOBACK......
Is this what you want? If not, please state your requirements more clearly..... |

| This will just set RC=4 for this step. If by MAXCC (which I see all too often loosely used on this board) you mean the maximum for the job, then you must ensure as well that other steps do not exceed RC=4. |

| Hmmm - 4 is sometimes a normal return code for certain software - for instance MARKIV. If the subsequent job steps execute as cond code (0,ne) prior job return code not equal zero, you may have a problem. The job will finish and everything will look fine, but it won't be. I would suggest that you set the return code to be unique so that anyone looking will know exactly what happened. For instance set it to 4444 - then put it a comment in the program so that people will know what happened. |

Hello,
I believe the highest RC value can be 4095.
Interestingly, 4096 yields a zero RC. . . . |
