RETURN Statements in the )PROC Section of an EOS Rule

The OPS/REXX RETURN statement specifies whether the job containing the ended step is allowed to continue or is cancelled. Valid values for a RETURN statement in the processing section of an EOS rule are as follows:

NORMAL

Allow the job or started task to continue processing.

CANCEL

Bypass all remaining job steps and terminate the job.

Default: RETURN NORMAL

Notes:

• The return values listed here are character constants rather than keywords.
• An unrecognized return value defaults to a value of NORMAL.
• Inadvertently coding a RETURN SUPPRESS will have the same meaning as RETURN CANCEL.
