When Not Using an Abend Handler

When a CEMT is issued, the CA Datacom CICS Services abend processor gains control.

Case 1

If there is no active request in CA Datacom/DB at the time of the force-purge, the following steps are done in the order shown:

1. The facility is freed (usually the terminal) if one exists.
2. If the task has exclusive control or has an open cursor, then CA Datacom CICS Services issues a ROLBK. However, if the task did not hold exclusive control or did not have an open cursor, no database request is required.
3. Returns to CICS.

Case 2

If there is an active request in CA Datacom/DB at the time of the force-purge, the following steps are done in the order shown:

1. The facility is freed (usually the terminal) if one exists.
2. The task waits on the original request until CA Datacom/DB has completed the request and CICS has dispatched the task.
