Explanation

IMS status code AM (Authorization Failed) is issued when a DLI call attempts to perform an operation not authorized by the processing options specified in the Program Communication Block (PCB). The segment I/O area specification relates to different status codes. An incorrect function code would cause a different error, and invalid SSA would return a distinct status code.
