In Example 2, the user has created the table named &TABLE and a variable named CREATERC, into which is set the system return code resulting from the execution of the CREATE TABLE statement. If the table name has not already been used, and the return code is not zero, the return code evaluates to an error condition and the job logs off with the error code displayed.
0010 .SET CREATERC TO &SYSRC; 0011 .IF &CREATERC = 3803 /* Table &TABLE already exists */ THEN; UTY2402 Previous statement modified to: 0012 .LOGOFF 08; 0013 .RUN FILE RUN01; 0014 .ELSE 0015 .IF &CREATERC <> 0 THEN 0016 .LOGOFF &CREATRC; 0017 .ENDIF
