Determines whether the application program receives UNBIND RUs in its SCIP exit routine when the application program is acting as the primary end of a failing session.
SONSCIP=NO
VTAM® schedules the application program’s NSEXIT routine with a CLEANUP RU. If the application program does not have an NSEXIT routine, VTAM schedules the LOSTERM exit routine.
SONSCIP=YES
VTAM ends the session for the application program (no CLSDST need be issued). VTAM schedules the application program’s SCIP exit routine with an UNBIND RU that contains information (type codes) describing the failure. For a description of these type codes, see z/OS Communications Server: SNA Programming.
Note: Because secondary application programs receive UNBIND RUs in their SCIP exit routines, it is not necessary for these application programs to code SONSCIP=YES to receive the UNBIND type codes.
