Issue/Introduction

Setting up secure SSL connection and the following entry occurs 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?

                       

 

 

 

Environment

Release:
Component: ACF2MS

Resolution

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.
