Issue/Introduction

Retting RC -3 for any ADDRESS OPSCTL COF commands.

 

Environment

OPS/MVS

 

Cause

Possible causes:

1) using an ADDRESS environment only supported under OPS/REX under TSO/REXX

2) syntax error in the ADDRESS statement.

Resolution

For 1), run the REXX program using the OPSIMED (OI) or OPSEXEC (OX) command processors if the ADDRESS environment in use is only supported under OPS/REXX

For 2), make sure the string that follows the ADDRESS keyword is a valid environment. See the link below for a list of address environments:
