Hi All ,
Can anyone tell why the 'AD' return code is thrown by IMS(Function parameter invalid).
I am using a GHU call.

Thanks

AD
Explanation: For call-level programs: Either the function parameter on the call is invalid or the function is not supported for the type of PCB specified in the call. Some possible reasons are:
The function parameter is invalid.
A system service call used a PCB that is not the I/O PCB.
A message GU or GN call used an alternate PCB instead of the I/O PCB.
A database call used a PCB that is not a DB PCB.
A message GU used the I/O PCB without specifying IN=trancode in the BMP JCL.
A SETS or ROLS call included the I/O area but omitted the token.

For command-level programs: A command was issued that is not supported in the environment; for example, a system service command in an online program. If the command is correct, some other possible causes are:
Referencing a DB PCB on a system service command. System service commands must reference the I/O PCB.
Referencing an I/O PCB for a database command, or not defining an I/O PCB before issuing system service commands.

Programmer Response: Be sure that the function specified is valid for the PCB specified by the request.

Check if you are giving 'GHU ' OR 'GHU'.
Also what is the processing option given in your PSB ?
