Return Codes
Value
Meaning

0 Continue with debugger normal processing and program invocation, as defined by RDBGOPTS DSECT or C struct RDBG_RUNOPTS. If the program invocation method is manual, issue a message containing process connection information.

4 Continue with debugger normal processing and program invocation, as defined by RDBGOPTS DSECT or C struct RDBG_RUNOPTS, but suppress the process connection information message.

8 Continue with debugger normal processing but suppress debugger program invocation processing and the connection information message.

12 Terminate debugger connection processing and remote debugger initialization and issue a failure message.

***Return Codes***
Value	Meaning
0	Continue with debugger normal processing and program invocation, as defined by `RDBGOPTS DSECT` or C `struct RDBG_RUNOPTS`. If the program invocation method is manual, issue a message containing process connection information.
4	Continue with debugger normal processing and program invocation, as defined by `RDBGOPTS DSECT` or C `struct RDBG_RUNOPTS`, but suppress the process connection information message.
8	Continue with debugger normal processing but suppress debugger program invocation processing and the connection information message.
12	Terminate debugger connection processing and remote debugger initialization and issue a failure message.

Return codes 0 and 12 are typically used as the standard success and failure statuses. Return codes 4 and 8 are intended for special purposes. For example, the exit might return the value 4 after starting a program under MVS batch. It might return the value 8 if your site uses a custom program invocation method.
