The complete description of the return and reason codes can be found in chapter :
"IXLCSP -- XES Structure Computation Service" in the IBM manual "MVS Programming: Sysplex Services Reference"

Reason Code: xxxx0C98 states:

Environmental error. The coupling facility specified by the CFNAME keyword cannot be accessed from this system. Possible causes include:

The coupling facility is not described by the active CFRM policy.
There is no CFRM couple data set.
The system from which the request is issued does not have connectivity to the coupling facility.
The coupling facility has failed.

Action:
Investigate the possible causes why the coupling facility cannot be accessed, correct the problem, and resubmit the request.
The most common reason is a misspelled or a non defined Coupling Facility structure name in parameter CFNAME in the DBMXEPR macro.
