The END command terminates the DSQCCI invocation and returns control to the calling application when issued while the command interface (DSQCCI) is running. The QMF session remains active; only an abend (abnormal termination) terminates a QMF session during a command interface invocation.
QMF will set DSQCSESC to mark the session for termination if it encounters an EXIT command or a severe error during a command interface invocation. When the program that called DSQCCI ends and returns control to QMF, the QMF session terminates.
