Options

No options are allowed with the TERM command.

Usage

If you want to use a PSB other than the one already scheduled, use the TERM command to release the PSB.

When you issue the TERM command, all database changes are committed and cannot be backed out. Because returning to CICS also terminates the PSB and commits changes, you need not use the TERM command unless you want to schedule another PSB, or commit database changes before returning to CICS.

No options are allowed with the TERM command. If your program subsequently needs a PSB that has terminated, it must reschedule that PSB by issuing another SCHD command.

In most applications, you do not need to use the TERM command.

Example

EXEC DLI TERM
