How error codes are set for jobs on z/OS®

Error codes can be set in these ways:

Automatically, based either on the completion codes of the job or started-task step or on internal error detection.
By the job completion checker. See Setting error codes using the job completion checker.
Manually from the Ready List panel or from the MCP panel.
Using the EQQUSIN subroutine. Refer to Customization and Tuning.
Using the program interface. Refer to Programming Interfaces.
Using the OPSTAT command in batch or TSO. See TSO commands.

In most cases, HCL Workload Automation for Z sets error codes using the z/OS® user and system completion codes. In some special cases (for example, when there has been a JCL error), HCL Workload Automation for Z sets a special error code to enable it to react correctly to the situation.
