Conditions: INVREQ, NOTAUTH, PROCESSERR

Description

DISCARD PROCESSTYPE removes the definition of a specified process-type from the local CICS region.

Note:
  1. Only disabled process-types can be discarded.
  2. If you are using BTS in a single CICS region, you can use the DISCARD PROCESSTYPE command to remove process-types. However, if you are using BTS in a sysplex, it is strongly recommended that you use CICSPlex® SM to remove them. If you don't use CICSPlex SM, problems could arise if Scheduler Services routes to this region work that requires a discarded definition.
