From: Stefan Weinhuber <wein@xxxxxxxxxx> When a DASD device is used with the DIAG discipline, the DIAG initialization will indicate success or error with a respective return code. So far we have interpreted a return code of 4 as error, but it actually means that the initialization was successful, but the device is read-only. To allow read-only devices to be used with DIAG we need to accept a return code of 4 as success. Re-initialization of the DIAG access is also part of the DIAG error recovery. If we find that the access mode of a device has been changed from writable to read-only while the device was in use, we print an error message.
