Environment

Release:
Component: JOBTRC

Resolution

The RC=4 is just a warning stating that NOTIFY=Y is ignored for generic userids. This in documented in the CA Jobtrac Reports, Maintenance, and Recovery Chapter 7: TRACAUTH Security:

"NOTIFY Specifies whether to notify the user specified by the id variable about abends or error conditions for events in the location specified by the locid variable. The user is notified with a SEND message. Note: Messages are not sent when NOTIFY=Y is specified with a user ID containing an * (asterisk). Although you can assemble a TRACAUTH table with this combination, the request is not processed. "
