Conditions, errors, and exceptions

This section describes how the Foundation Classes have been designed to respond to various error situations they might encounter.

Foundation Class Abend codes
For serious errors (such as insufficient storage to create an object) the Foundation Classes immediately terminate the CICS task.
C++ Exceptions and the Foundation Classes
C++ exceptions are managed using the reserved words try , throw , and catch.
CICS conditions
The CICS foundation classes provide a powerful framework for handling conditions that happen when executing an application.
Platform differences
The CICS Foundation Classes, as described here, are designed to be independent of the particular CICS platform on which they are running. There are however some differences between platforms; these, and ways of coping with them, are described here.
