Notes and tips

Use the IFABXIT call with an IFAM2 connection to Model 204 only in a CICS environment.

Use IFABXIT if the host language application does not require its own abend handler. Using IFABXIT protects the application against a hung CRAM channel in the event of an abend prior to the first functional IFAM2 call.

Issue the IFABXIT call as soon as possible after entering the program, after the initial IFCSA call.

See CICS abend handling for more information about CICS abend handling in IFAM2.
