System termination program exit XSTERM

The XSTERM exit could be used to output final statistics to your statistics SMF data sets, and to close them. Note that CICS® VSAM and BDAM data sets have already been closed by CICS file control before the exit is invoked.

When invoked

During the second quiesce stage of a normal system shutdown, immediately before the transient data and temporary storage buffers are cleared. The exit is not invoked during an IMMEDIATE shutdown.

Exit-specific parameters

None.

Return codes

UERCNORM

XPI calls

All other XPI calls except WRITE_JOURNAL_DATA can be used. However, their use is not recommended, because they could cause the task to lose control, thus allowing another task to write more monitoring data.
