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.

Exit XSTERM is 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.

API and SPI calls

None can be used.
