Hi,

I was trying to establish a connection between CICS and IMS, using the transaction CDBC.

But it was failing with the following message

DFHDB8222 Connection has failed. DBCTL return code is 12.

I have searched a lot to diagnose the return code, but could not get through, can anybody help me in trying to understand the return code

Thanks,
Chanti

Explanation: DBCTL rejects a request from CICS to connect to it.
System Action: The connection does not proceed.
User Response: See the IMS Messages and Codes manual for an explanation of the DBCTL return code.

it could be a DRA return code :

INIT request
12
Dynamic allocation of DRA RESLIB failed.

For more info for IMS return codes see :

Hi peter,

Thanks, for your response

Our IMS reslib using the default 00(Suffix), supplied DFSPZP00. The library containing this Linkedited module is a part of CICS steplib concatenation.

So, still we are unsure why its failing to allocate dynamically

Thanks,
Chanti.

Chianti, i said it COULD be the reason.
maybe there are other return code 12. For that
you have to consult that manual. I did see a table
with more than 1 return code 12.

Yeah i understand peter, I referred to that cause as there were no other explanations given for that Return code 12!

The problem got solved.

Actual problem was in the definition of DFSPZP00, i have defined a new DFSPZP01 with proper parameters as per manuals and it worked

Thanks,
Chanti

That means it was a DRA problem?
