Satheesh,
Can you please check the program IOM to understand the meaning of return code 9. I beleive they are handling IMS status codes in IOM and returing 9 accordingly.

it would be nice if people asking for help would investigate if the thing they are talking about is a local thing...

I googled for IOM and the only reference IT and MF related is this thread...


quite unreasonable to expect help on a forum for a local thing

It looks like IOM is a sytem program. For example like CBLTDLI call. I could not find about this program in google. Can anyone help me with this.

As Enrico said, Please check with your peers, its definitely a local program used in your shop.

CBLTDLI is a control statement necessary to establish a COBOL to DL/I interface, calling it as system-program is bit ambiguous. (I'm just an application Engineer, may be some System Programmer can aid us to understand the point better if such things can be called as system programs)

And Google is not a correct place to look for such in-house programs as suggested couple of time earlier. Instead search it in your "base-line" source program library, under ISRDDN or ask a "senior".

And 'gain, what makes you to think this all can be an IMS related problem?

Have you researched WHY your application program is calling it? It is obviously retrieving some data from an IMS database. Your return code is NOT an IMS error. You have obviously not supplied something that would get the results. Please research.....

CALL 'IOM' USING FUNCTION-CODE (WHAT is the function code?)
ENTITY-NAME (WHAT is the entity-name?)
KEY-AREA (WHAT is the key area?)
DATA-AREA. (WHAT is the data area?)
