Return Codes (RC) for the BEX command-line interface

In the output of the BEX commands, there is the “RC” column for the return codes (RCs) that are defined as follows:

RCDescription
0Success. The job was successful.
1Job canceled. An operator terminated the job.
2All backup tasks have completed and have been cataloged, but not all files have been successfully backed up.
4Partial failure. One or more tasks failed; the successful tasks were cataloged.
8No data. No files were backed up; during an incremental or differential backup no new or modified files were found; pre-script failed.
16Fail. Job failed; no tasks cataloged.
32Partial cancel. An operator terminated the job, but one or more tasks were successful and were cataloged.
64A restore job that required hardware decryption completed successfully, but the tapes used are not secured.
99Job failed.

BEX CLI RCs and Job RCs have the same definition.
