Recovery considerations for IFI

When an application program issues an IFI call, the requested function is immediately performed. However, if the application program subsequently abends, the IFI request is not backed out.

Begin program-specific programming interface information. In contrast, requests that do not use IFI are committed and abended as usual. For example, if an IFI application program also issues SQL calls, a program abend causes the SQL activity to be backed out. End program-specific programming interface information.
