Kurt, As long as it is non-zero, I do not particularly care except for the legacy understanding of what the various codes normally mean.
I do tend to recognize a RC=8 as something more critical to investigate, but as a practical matter, I review anything non-zero.

This is an interesting idea, which I'm curious to hear opinions on. If doing a mass APPLY (not using the SELECT operand), and PTFs are stopped because of a PE (ERROR HOLD), either directly or in a requisite chain that is stuck because of a PE, what RC should be used to identify this condition? RC=8? 4? 0? Other ideas?
