Issue/Introduction

The below entry has been added to SARXCTAB exception table:

/OFATKERR.RUN$IT.CHKEMPT2 NOCC0000 NOCC0004

The 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?

Resolution

The client had the below code 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.  

Added the statement "OFATKERR.RUN$IT.CHKEMPT1 NOCC0000 NOCC0004", to resolve this condition.
