Description

GDS ISSUE ABEND causes an APPC basic conversation to end immediately, regardless of the conversation state. The partner transaction is informed.

The return code is given in RETCODE (see Table 1). For a list of return code values, see the Return codes for APPC basic conversations . EXEC CICS® conditions are never raised on GDS commands.

Options

In general, the arguments can be replaced by absolute or relocatable assembler-language expressions.

CONVDATA(data-area)
specifies the 24-byte application data area into which conversation-related information is to be moved. A description of the format of the data area is given in the discussion of CONVDATA fields in the Testing indicators .
CONVID(name)
identifies the conversation to which the command relates. The 4-character name identifies either the token returned by a previously executed GDS ALLOCATE command, or the token representing the principal session (returned by a previously executed GDS ASSIGN command).
RETCODE(data-area)
specifies the 6-byte application data area into which return code information (shown in Table 1) is to be moved.

  • CONFSEND
  • FREE

  • PENDRECEIVE
  • RECEIVE
  • ROLLBACK
