RETURN Statements in the )PROC Section of an ARM Rule

The OPS/REXX RETURN statement specifies whether the ARM restart for the element should be prevented or allowed to continue. This statement may specify the following values:

NORMAL

Continue the element restart in accordance with the current value of the ARM.RESTARTTYPE variable. Other modifiable event variables may have also changed values.

SUPPRESS

The value of the ARM.RESTARTTYPE variable is set to 1, which tells ARM that a restart should not be performed for this element.

Default: RETURN NORMAL

The return values listed here are character constants rather than keywords. An unrecognized return value (for example, a misspelled value) defaults to a value of NORMAL.
