Google is not to helpful either. What is a 3592?
What program is it running? Each program is free to issue any return code from 0 to 4095 that it wants to. However, it is likely that somebody simply forgot to zero register 15 before returning back to z/OS. I've seen this happen with COBOL that calls assembler. The assembler program does not set the return code, so register 15 contains the address of the assembler program upon return to COBOL. COBOL then copies this into RETURN-CODE and the programmer never does a MOVE ZERO TO RETURN-CODE to reset it because "I never modified RETURN-CODE, so that can't be the problem!". Well, it was modified, implicitly, by calling the assembler subroutine. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
