Force Data Transmission

If deemed necessary by the procedure it can, while in send state, force the transmission of any data buffered by APPC with the request:

&APPC FLUSH

All queued data is scheduled for transmission by this request, however it is usually unnecessary as data will be transmitted as it accumulates during normal send operations. When a reasonable amount of data is buffered, or if requests which require some response (such as an &APPC CONFIRM) are issued, then a transmission is scheduled automatically by the system. A flush operation does not alter the state.
