Is there a way to override the max return code of a job. For instance if I receive a RC of 4 I'd like to reset the MAX return code for the job back to ZERO. I know how to do it for a step but the JOB still retains the Max return code of 4 for the job.

Any help is appreicated.

Hi Kolusu

Thanks for your post. I did search the database, and my search as well as the one you were kind enough to supply me does not really solve my problem. The one suggestion says you need to hit some internal registers but does not show a specific example I can use.

I tried all other examples and none accomplish the reset. I should say there is no simple SET MAXCC = 0; Like in IDCAM that could reset the entire job's Max Return code. It only works at the step level. Unfortunately I think there is no simple way to do this without some programming effort. I did post here after hours of testing different methods and was hoping there was a simple method that I could not find.

Thank you, your reply is greatly appreciated.

PhilB,
I hope, you have a strong reason to do so. You know, a job return code is, shall I say, a 'sacrosanct' value. Fiddling with it might cause problems with auditing later.

Just a thought...
