I am working on setting up secure SSL connection and I noticed the following entry when running the ACF2 ACFRPTOM OMVS report: CAS2205I REQUEST=R_datalib,EXIT=POST,RC=8/8:44 Does the return code 8/8:44 indicate a problem?

Issue/Introduction

Question:  

I am working on setting up secure SSL connection and I noticed the following entry when running the ACF2 ACFRPTOM OMVS report: CAS2205I REQUEST=R_datalib,EXIT=POST,RC=8/8:44 Does the return code 8/8:44 indicate a problem?

Answer: 

The return code 8/8:44 from a R_datalib request does not necessarily indicate an error. OMVS first does a data_get_first

request to get the first record. It then issues a data_get_next, which is like MVS sequential processing. The r_datalib call

with an 8/8:44 simply means that it has reached EOF (end of file). This would be correct for a search when it gets to the

end of the data.

 

For example the following SERVERA Keyring has two certificates connected.

There are three R_datalib calls, starting with the DataGetFirst and then

DataGetNext calls until there are no more certificates which results in the

8/8:44.
