Use the CESF transaction to sign off from the CICS system.
This transaction:
If you are using CESF to disconnect a terminal and security is active, a message will still be sent to the log if the signoff fails. However, this will not stop the terminal being disconnected if it is a preset terminal or if the terminal is not signed on.
You cannot use CESF on:
For these devices, you must code your own transaction using the EXEC CICS SIGNOFF command. For programming information about this command, see the CICS® Application Programming Reference.
The syntax of the CESF transaction is as follows:
If you simply type CESF by itself, you are signed off the CICS system. Your terminal can still start transactions without you having to request them, and messages can be sent to it. You can sign on again at that terminal at any time.
The effects of typing CESF with the GOODNIGHT value or the LOGOFF value depend on the access method in use, as shown in Table 9:
VTAM
DISCREQ=YES |
Otherwise | |
---|---|---|
CESF | TTI | TTI |
CESF LOGOFF | Disc, TTI | TTI |
CESF GOODNIGHT | Disc, TTI | NOTTI |
where:
DISCREQ=YES is an operand of the TYPETERM definition associated with the terminal, and means that CICS is to honor a disconnect request. If DISCREQ=NO, a disconnect request (for example, a CESF LOGOFF request) is not honored.
If a CESF GOODNIGHT is given when there are outstanding automatic transaction initiation (ATI) requests, the ATI requests are actioned and the session is reacquired irrespective of the RDO options.
