Coding a program to be invoked at CICS termination

If you specify the SHUTDOWN option when enabling your task-related user exit program, it is invoked at system termination.

About this task

The CICS® system termination manager passes the exit program the address of a one-byte code that identifies the type of termination (see CICS termination manager parameters). You can use this invocation of your program to do processing appropriate to the type of termination. For example, at an orderly shutdown you could use it, rather than a PLT program, to shut down the adapter; at a CICS abend you could use it to take special actions, related to the seriousness of the abend.
