Calling DSNTIAR or DSNTIAC

The format for calling DSNTIAR from a COBOL program is:

CALL 'DSNTIAR' USING comm-area 
                     error-message 
                     error-rec-length

The format for calling DSNTIAC from a CICS COBOL program is:

CALL 'DSNTIAC' USING comm-area 
                     error-message 
                     error-rec-length

where:

comm-area The communications area to be used, generally set to SQLCA. The SQLCODE element of this area should contain the error code for which DSNTIAR will generate a message.
error-message An array of records of size error-rec-length used to store error message output. The two components of the error-message array are:
error-length containing an integer indicating the length of the second element, error-text. error-length >= 240.
error-text which is the actual message. Generally this message is defined as an array of strings, each having a length of error-rec-length, and occurring n times so that error-length is the larger of 240 and error-rec-length * n.
Code Description
Error-rec-length A n integer indicating the logical record length of output messages. 72 <= error-rec-length <= 240. If the message is longer than error-rec-length, several logical records will be used to store it.
0 Successful execution.
4 More data was available than could fit into the provided message area.
8 The error-rec-length was not within acceptable limits.

(72 <= error-rec-length <= 240)

12 The message area was not large enough. Message length was >= 240.
16 Error in message routine.

The following table shows the return codes that result from calling the DSNTIAR or DSNTIAC utility.
