Description
GDS ISSUE ERROR informs the conversation partner that there is an error.
The return code is given in RETCODE, see below. For a list of return code
values, see the CICS® Distributed Transaction Programming Guide. EXEC CICS conditions
are never raised on GDS commands.
Options
In general, the arguments can be replaced by absolute or relocatable assembler-language
expressions.
- CONVDATA(data-area)
- specifies the 24-byte application data
area into which conversation-related information is to be moved. A description
of the format of the data area is given in the discussion of CONVDATA fields
in the CICS Distributed Transaction Programming Guide.
- CONVID(name)
- identifies the conversation to which the command relates. The 4-character
name identifies either the token returned by a previously executed GDS ALLOCATE
command, or the token representing the principal session (returned by a previously
executed GDS ASSIGN command).
- RETCODE(data-area)
- specifies the 6-byte application data area into which return code information
(shown in Table 1) is to be moved.
- STATE(cvda)
- gets the state of the current conversation. The cvda values returned
by CICS are:
- ALLOCATED
- CONFFREE
- CONFRECEIVE
- CONFSEND
- FREE
- PENDFREE
- PENDRECEIVE
- RECEIVE
- ROLLBACK
- SEND
- SYNCFREE
- SYNCRECEIVE
- SYNCSEND
