Thanks for clearing that up. I received RC=4 under earlier releases of SMP/E and still receive RC=4 but because of the reason you point out. Yes, the old bypass warnings are now informational. Never really paid that much attention to RC=4 under most circumstances.

Try an APPLY CHECK job with the COMPAT(WARNBYPASS) parm on the EXEC and you'll get RC=4 for the job. The primary reason you'd get RC=4 on the APPLY after getting RC=0 on the APPLY CHECK is because of RETURN CODE = 4 from the binder. Look at the GIM42001 and GIM35966 msgs in the output. Those are the messages that result from the BYPASS(HOLDSYS). If they end with an I rather than a W then that means they are returning RC=0. Only messages ending in W result in RC=4. In my APPLY jobs those are always GIM23913W (LINK-EDIT PROCESSING FOR SYSMOD UA55316 WAS SUCCESSFUL FOR MODULE ISTAPCTQ IN LMOD ISTAPVL1 IN THE SISTCLIB LIBRARY. THE RETURN CODE WAS 04).

In order to get the old behavior (RC=04) you have to add the COMPAT(WARNBYPASS) parm to the EXEC stmt for the SMP/E job. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
