To make everybody happy, make this a user controlled option, you decide
what causes RC=xx.

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?
