-----------------------------<snip>---------------------------------
I can think of no case where it is accepted or supported for non-IBM
code to issue an IBM-documented system abend code.
And that certainly includes 222 which has many ramifications that go
with its being a "cancel'.
As we all know, the "official" S222 has no reason codes.
----------------------------------<unsnip>--------------------------------
I can certainly agree with these statements.
The use of System ABEND codes by applications is something to be
discouraged, in the interest of keeping these codes UNAMBIGUOUS. If an
application has a problem, let it issue a message, with a unique message
number, so that automation can pick it up and take appropriate action.
