Description

IGNORE CONDITION is not supported for C programs.

For information about the conditions, see EXEC interface block.

You use IGNORE CONDITION to specify that no action is to be taken if a condition occurs (that is, control returns to the instruction following the command that has failed to execute, and the EIB is set). Execution of a command could result in several conditions being raised. CICS® checks these in a predetermined order and only the first one that is not ignored (by your IGNORE CONDITION command) is passed to your application program.

The IGNORE CONDITION command for a given condition applies only to the program in which it is specified, and it remains active while the program is being executed, or until a HANDLE CONDITION command for the same condition is encountered, in which case the IGNORE CONDITION command is overridden.

You cannot include more than sixteen conditions in the same command; the conditions must be separated by at least one space. You may specify additional conditions in further IGNORE CONDITION commands.
