DISCARD TRANCLASS
Remove a transaction class definition.
Syntax
Activate security checks on commands by specifying the XCMD system initialization parameter and by ensuring that command security checking is active for the transaction (either by specifying CMDSEC(YES) on the TRANSACTION resource definition or by specifying ALWAYS on the CMDSEC system initialization parameter).
Conditions: INVREQ, NOTAUTH, TCIDERR
NOHANDLE, RESP, and
RESP2 are common options that can be added to all EXEC CICS
commands to process error conditions. They are not explicitly included in the command syntax diagram
and option descriptions. For information about these common options and EXEC CICS
command syntax, see EXEC CICS command format and programming considerations.
This command is threadsafe.
Description
The DISCARD TRANCLASS command removes the definition of a transaction class from the local CICS® system. A transaction class cannot be removed while any TRANSACTION definitions belong to it.
See Discarding resource definitions for general information about discards.
Options
- TRANCLASS(data-value)
- specifies
the 8-character name of the transaction class that is to be removed.
In earlier releases of CICS, transaction classes were numbered from 1 through 10 rather than named, as they are now, and class definitions were implicit rather than explicit. For compatibility, CICS supplies definitions for the numbered classes, named ‘DFHTCLnn’, where nn is the 2-digit class number. You can discard a numbered class by using the associated name for the TRANCLASS value (DFHTCL01 for class 1, for example).
Conditions
- INVREQ
- RESP2 values:
- 2
- The TRANCLASS definition is in use.
- 12
- The transaction class cannot be discarded because installed transactions belong to it.
- NOTAUTH
- RESP2 values:
- 100
- The user associated with the issuing task is not authorized to use this command.
- TCIDERR
- RESP2 values:
- 1
- The transaction class cannot be found.
