IDENTIFY creates a CDE. IDENTIFY RC=4 more or less indicates that an existing minor CDE was found that matches the input name. IDENTIFY RC=8 indicates that an existing major CDE was found that matches the input name
When IDENTIFY creates a CDE, the new CDE usually is a minor CDE and is enqueued either on the caller's JPA queue or the active LPA queue. However if the CDE is identified from a module that resides in the PLPA and the caller is authorized, or resides in the LPA and the caller is not authorized, a stand-alone major CDE is built and enqueued on the active LPA or the JPA queue respectively. In the latter case, therefore, a subsequent IDENTIFY for the same name would get RC=8.
