Coding program termination in PL/I under CICS

You can terminate a PL/I routine running under CICS® by using PL/I constructs or CICS statements such as EXEC CICS RETURN, EXEC CICS SEND PAGE RELEASE, EXEC CICS XCTL, or EXEC CICS ABEND. When the routine terminates, the following occurs:

1. If you requested a storage report using the RPTSTG runtime option, the report is written to the CESE transient data queue (described in Runtime output under CICS).
2. If CESE is still open, it is closed.
3. All storage acquired by PL/I is freed before control returns to CICS, except for the stack.
