CICS error-handling commands

The way that the EXEC CICS error-handling commands are supported in Java™ is described.

CICS® condition handling is integrated into the Java exception-handling architecture, as described in CICS exception handling in Java programs. The equivalent EXEC CICS command is supported in Java in the following ways:

HANDLE ABEND

To handle an ABEND generated by a program in any CICS supported language, use a Java try-catch statement, with AbendException appearing in a catch clause.

HANDLE CONDITION

To handle a specific condition, such as PGMIDERR, use a catch clause that names the appropriate exception; in this case InvalidProgramException. Alternatively, use a catch clause that names CicsConditionException, if all CICS conditions are to be caught.

IGNORE CONDITION

This command is not relevant in Java applications.

POP HANDLE and PUSH HANDLE

These commands are not relevant in Java applications. The Java exceptions that are used to represent CICS ABENDs and conditions are caught by any catch block in scope.
