Conditions: INVREQ, NOTALLOC

Description

FREE returns an LUTYPE6.1 session to CICS when a transaction that owns it no longer requires it. The session can then be allocated for use by other transactions.

If you omit both CONVID and SESSION, the principal facility is freed. Facilities not freed explicitly are freed by CICS when the task terminates.

If you are running EDF, and the transaction frees the principal facility, EDF is terminated.

Options

CONVID(name): Identifies the LUTYPE6.1 session to be freed. The 4-character name identifies either the token returned by a previously executed ALLOCATE command in EIBRSRCE in the EIB, or the token representing the principal session (returned by a previously executed ASSIGN command).
SESSION(name): Specifies the symbolic identifier (1–4 characters) of a session TCTTE. This option specifies the alternate facility to be used.

Conditions

16 INVREQ

Occurs if the session specified in the command was allocated for a basic (unmapped) APPC conversation.
