Hi,

I have a situation where there is an application that communicates with CICS using DTP - LU 6.2 APPC. The application has two threads - one for firing and managing transactions initiated by the application and the other thread waiting for and managing transactions initiated from CICS.

The second thread that accepts conversation from CICS uses the RECEIVE_ALLOCATE APPC control verb and waits indefinitely (synchronously) for a MC_ALLOCATE verb from CICS.

When the second thread is waiting, the application is terminated thereby resulting in ending both the threads. When thread2 terminates, the verb is abruptly interrupted on RECEIVE_ALLOCATE & I get a VTAM abend - S00A8 in MVS log.

The application is designed to run all the time connected to CICS.

Can someone let me know if there is any way out to release the thread to come out of RECEIVE_ALLOCATE gracefully without causing any sideeffects.

Thanks
Vijay
