Default Processing

If a batch runtime error occurs and the default batch termination exit is used, processing is as follows:

1. The Batch Manager performs all necessary rollbacks. This is done regardless of the termination exit used.
2. The Batch Manager fail routine calls the default termination exit. It returns to the fail routine without doing anything, which causes the default termination logic in the fail routine to be used.
3. The fail routine writes runtime error messages to an error message file with the DDNAME TIRERRF.

   An example of an error message file is shown in the following figure.

4. The batch job abends with a user code of 100 (U0100).
