- Control+C Interrupt Considerations

NOTE S/390 only: As there is no true session with the S/390 PROIV environment, only a remote call, the Control+C interrupt will have no effect on the processing of a task. The reporting back to the caller may be unpredictable. It is not recommended to use Control+C.

The action taken if the user types in a Control+C depends on the point of execution of the Task at which the character is detected:

If the user interrupts the logon function by pressing Ctrl+C, PROIV will exit.
If the user interrupts the execution of the default function by pressing Ctrl+C after login, the default function will exit and the Task (if there is one) will continue to execute the selected Task.
If the user interrupts a function by pressing Ctrl+C, the function, as well as the Task, will terminate by executing the Task error function with an error condition.
