The END command

When issued by the end user while the command interface (DSQCCI) is running, the END command terminates the DSQCCI invocation and returns control to the calling application. The QMF session remains active. Only an abend (abnormal termination) terminates a QMF session during a command interface invocation.

The EXIT command, or a severe error during a command interface invocation, causes QMF to set DSQCSESC to mark the session for termination. When the program that called DSQCCI ends and returns control to QMF, the QMF session then terminates.
