Fred,

I'm not sure I understand the question.

For dsmc (as well as the scheduler), RC 0, 4, and 8 are all treated as
"successful", with "success" being qualified as described in the client
manual. RC 12 is treated as "failed".

The exception to the above rules is that for scheduled events where
ACTION=COMMAND, an event is treated as successful only when the RC is 0.

The client has worked this way since 5.1, and has not changed since.

If your user is getting an RC 8, check the client dsmerror.log file for any
warning messages (ANSnnnnW) that were issued during the course of the
operation.

Best regards,

Andy

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
