    Explanation
      A syncpoint has been attempted when an intersystem conversation is in a state in which the EXEC CICS SYNCPOINT command is not allowed. If CICS is connected to a system which must act as LAST AGENT, such as IMS, then this ABEND will be issued from SYNCPOINT processing if a PREPARE has been received on a link to another system. In order to support syncpointing CICS must act as COORDINATOR when it is directly connected to the LAST AGENT, the COORDINATOR system may send PREPARE syncpoint commands but never receives them.

    

    System action
      The task is abnormally terminated with a CICS transaction dump which includes terminal control information. In particular, the dump contains state information for the links used by this transaction. The EXEC CICS HANDLE ABEND command cannot handle this abend.

    

    User response
      Ensure that the application issues an EXEC CICS SYNCPOINT command only when its sync level 2 conversations are in the correct state. The EXEC CICS SYNCPOINT command may be issued only when each conversation is in one of the following states:

      
        SEND

        PEND-RECEIVE (Not for MRO)

        PEND-FREE

        SYNC-RECEIVE

        SYNC-SEND (Not for MRO)

        SYNC-FREE
