I have a user, a reluctant but still very loud user who claims to have a 
problem.  His procedure is that his Mainframe job scheduler executes a REXX 
Exec which sshs to a WinNT box where it executes a Windoze script which 
eventually does a "dsmc incr".  The Mainframe job gets a return code which is 
used to determine his next step, the assumption being that the RC comes from 
TSM.

His claim is that 5.4.x clients return a 0 RC for success, as do 6.1.x, but 
5.5.x give RC=8 for success.  I find nothing in documentation that he should 
see from TSM the normal 0,4,8 series of RC, but I'd feel better if someone 
would verify that.  I wonder if his RC di9fferences might come from different 
versions of WinNT.
