This will take you to the IDC3009 message. However, two questions I have is 1) what is the "90", reason code or return code? And 2) is it decimal (90) or hex (144)? Good luck.

A 90 on an OPEN would be different than a 90 on a read which is different than a 90 on a CLOSE. 90 is probably not even a valid status code for OPEN and CLOSE, but the point remains that the status code will mean different things depending on the action. I think a 90 on a read is an invalid request. After that, you'd have to interrogate the second status code to get a more exact reason for the failure. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
