I have an adadbs executing … ADADBS OPERCOM NOUSERABEND,LOCKU=412 /\* // IF $RC GT 0 THEN // GOTO error1 The IF sentence try to goto to error1 in case file 412 is in use. If I code ADADBS OPERCOM NOUSERABEND,LOCKU=412 I get A D A D B S: ERROR OCCURRED DURING EXECUTION: ERROR-072, UNEXPECTED NUCLEUS RESPONSE 64 07- FILE IS USED (CANNOT BE LOCKED NOW) A D A D B S TERMINATED DUE TO ERROR CONDITION 2013-09-26 14:37:07 11S55I LAST RETURN CODE WAS 0020 If I code ADADBS OPERCOM LOCKU=412 I get A D A D B S: ERROR OCCURRED DURING EXECUTION: ERROR-072, UNEXPECTED NUCLEUS RESPONSE 64 07- FILE IS USED (CANNOT BE LOCKED NOW) A D A D B S TERMINATED 2013-09-26 12:55:52 12:55:53 ADAI23 00001 CSHEC412 USER ABEND CODE 034 And in BOTH cases the job cancels so the IF sentence has no oportunity to do its job How can I tell the utility not to cancel the job but only end with a return code? TIA ---
