RESPONSE and REASON options

Once an API command completes processing, it returns a response and, if appropriate, a reason. You must specify the RESPONSE and REASON options on each command to receive the response and reason values returned by that command.

Note:
The TBUILD and TPARSE commands, which can be used only with the REXX run-time interface, do not use the RESPONSE and REASON options. The result of these REXX-specific processes is returned by their STATUS option. For more information, see the descriptions of the TBUILD and TPARSE commands in REXX functions and commands.
RESPONSE(data-ref)
data-ref is a user-defined variable. On return from the command, it contains a character value that describes the result of command processing. RESPONSE values are given in the description of each command.
REASON(data-ref)
data-ref is a user-defined variable. On return from the command, it contains a value that further qualifies the response to certain commands. REASON values are given with the RESPONSE values, for those responses that use them.

For more information about the RESPONSE and REASON options, see CICSPlex® System Manager Application Programming Guide. For a summary of RESPONSE and REASON values by command, see Appendix A. RESPONSE and REASON values.
