The book is at:
http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/BPXZB680/6.0
RC=20 means "invalid parameter list". Also in the book:
Dynamic allocation provides message text for failed allocation requests.
It is usually easier to use this message text rather than decode
allocation return codes.
BPXWDYN can return these messages to a REXX program. By default, the
messages are returned in the S99MSG. stem. S99MSG.0 contains the number of
messages and S99MSG.1 through S99MSG.n contain the message text.
