Description

If you are an IXLLIST or IXLCACHE macro user who specified MODE=ASYNCTOKEN or specified MODE=SYNCTOKEN but had the request processed asynchronously, you can use the IXLFCOMP macro to do either of the following:

Test whether your list or cache request has completed (OPTYPE=TEST). Choose this option if your task cannot be suspended or your program can perform other work while the list or cache request is being processed. IXLFCOMP's return code indicates whether the request has completed.
Have your task suspended until the list or cache request completes (OPTYPE=COMPLETE). Choose this option if your task can be suspended and you have no other work to perform while the list or cache request is being processed.
When the request has completed (if it has not completed when you issue IXLFCOMP), control returns to you so you can check the results of the request in the output areas you specified on the list or cache request.

Note: The following information assumes that you are familiar with either the IXLLIST macro or the IXLCACHE macro, and that you are using either a list or cache structure.

The IXLFCOMP guidance information in z/OS MVS Programming: Sysplex Services Guide contains additional information about using the IXLFCOMP macro, including the use of IXLFCOMP in recovery scenarios.
