Issue/Introduction

The client added this entry to their SARXCTAB exception table:

 

/OFATKERR.RUN$IT.CHKEMPT2 NOCC0000 NOCC0004

Their job in question had the following results:

JOB08449  -STEPNAME PROCSTEP    RC
JOB08449  -JOBTRMS  RMS@2X      00
JOB08449  -RUN$IT   CHKEMPT1    04
JOB08449  -RUN$IT   SAMSAM3  FLUSH
JOB08449  -RUN$IT   CHKEMPT2    04
JOB08449  -RUN$IT   SAMSAM6  FLUSH
JOB08449  -RUN$IT   MSGSTEP  FLUSH
JOB08449  -$J                FLUSH

View highlighted the following statement on the console and syslog:

*SARSTC99  JOB08449 OFATKERR COND CODE 0004

Why is this message appearing, despite the entry in the table?

Environment

Release : 12.2

Component : CA View

Resolution

The client had this in their SARXCTAB, exception code table:

/DEFAULT LAST NONDEL NONCAT NORCAT

/OFATKERR.RUN$IT.CHKEMPT2 NOCC0000 NOCC0004

The job output was as follows:

JOB08449  -STEPNAME PROCSTEP    RC

JOB08449  -JOBTRMS  RMS@2X      00

JOB08449  -RUN$IT   CHKEMPT1    04

JOB08449  -RUN$IT   SAMSAM3  FLUSH

JOB08449  -RUN$IT   CHKEMPT2    04

JOB08449  -RUN$IT   SAMSAM6  FLUSH

JOB08449  -RUN$IT   MSGSTEP  FLUSH

JOB08449  -$J                FLUSH

The "/OFATKERR.RUN$IT.CHKEMPT2 ..." statement resolves the CHKEMPT2 output and condition. 

The SARXCTAB statement of "/DEFAULT LAST ...", would be the next statement of effect. 

The message of "SARSTC99  JOB08449 OFATKERR COND CODE 0004", then, refers to the above CHKEMPT1 step.  

The client will add statement "OFATKERR.RUN$IT.CHKEMPT1 NOCC0000 NOCC0004", for that condition.
