Re: If an RPG program is forcibly terminated . . .

Hi James,

A) if the program check for %SHTDN() regularly it can sense the *CNTRLD job ending. 

B) if you write a procedure the ON-EXIT procedure gets executed even when the job ends *IMMED

C) this can also be done via APIs for "traditional" programs (CERRTX) and even for service programs (CEE4RAGE2 - when the activation group ends). 

HTH and kind regards 
Daniel
