C-2

5 Process calls PROCESS_STOP_ (with abnormal termination

specified) or ABEND on itself. This code is the default completion

code for the PROCESS_STOP_ procedure (when abnormal

termination is specified) and the ABEND procedure.

6 PROCESS_STOP_, STOP, or ABEND was called to delete a process

by an external, but authorized, process. The system includes this

completion code in the process deletion message. If the process

cannot be stopped, the request is saved so that when the process

calls SETSTOP this completion code is sent with the process deletion

message. The user ID, the PCBCRAID (CAID) and the process ID of

the process that caused the termination, are included in the

termination message.

7 Restart this job. This completion code is used by the NetBatch

scheduler and an executor process. The executor process sets its

completion code to this value upon termination; the scheduler

interprets this completion code and restarts a “restartable” job.

8 Code 8 is the same as code 1, normal termination, except that the

user must examine the listing file to determine whether the results are

acceptable. Completion code 8 is typically used by compilers.

The

kill() or raise() function generated a signal that stopped the

process. The termination information provides the signal number.

Note. If a signal is delivered to a signal handler that stops the process, the completion code

will be determined by the handler. For example, when a signal stops a native C program, a

different completion code is returned as set by the signal handler installed by the Common

Run-Time Environment (CRE).
