RE: error checking following QSH execution

Thanks Eric!

Is it usually enough to know that QSH0002 was issued, or do you want to 
interrogate the reason
code and/or error number?  The message shows what the reason codes are, but 
they are very vague. 
Where are the errno's documented?  Are they set by the Java application?

Specifically, I have been asked to trap errors such as when the spool file no 
longer exists when
the java program expects it to be available to create the PDF from it.  Also, 
any errors when the
email fails to send.  

Bottom line:  It would be nice to be able to issue a message "PDF creation 
failed because spool
file no longer exists".  Note: I would like to avoid having to test for its 
existence before
calling the java program.
