XTCERRDECR

Specifies the transfer requests for which the HOLDCOUNT parameter value is decremented when the current transfer completes unsuccessfully.

Up to eight transfer request names: Specifies up to eight transfers whose hold counts are to be decremented if a transfer completes unsuccessfully.

Note:

VTAM errors are not considered failed file transfers, because they are retried later.
If the current file transfer fails, the value of the HOLDCOUNT parameter of the transfers assigned to this parameter is reduced by one, unless the next transfer has already started or the HOLDCOUNT value has already reached zero.
You can use symbolic variables with this parameter. For more information, see Symbolic Parameters in Configuration Files.
