BPXBATCH Rexx Shell Script Return Code

drowelf · Posted: Mon Aug 15, 2011 5:42 am

I'm executing a Rexx Shell Script via BPXBATCH that does some file maintenance in our zFS File System. Now the script ends with a Exit ExecRC statement where ExecRc is the final return code. But the CC reported by the step executing BPXBATCH is always 00 regardless of the actual exit value.

I've looked through the various USS manuals, but can not really find any detailed information on passing return codes back from Rexx Scripts.

Thanks

See APAR OA18832. The 0 return code for BPXBATCH is normal and expected and means the processing of your shell script is complete, no matter how many errors the script generated.
