  |        ENDROLB= YES | NO
  |        PERMLOAD= YES | NO
  
  p.39
  
  | ENDROLB=
  |   Specifies whether to issue a Rollback (ROLB  call at the
  |   completion of the application to rollback the updates made
  |   to the database.
  |     YES
  |         Issues a ROLB call at the completion of the
  |         application to rollback the updates made to the
  |         database.
  |         When the application calls GU I/O PCB, CHKP, or SYNC,
  |         all the checkpoint calls issued to IMS are bypassed
  |         in order to backout the updates.
  |         If the ROLB call fails, the database updates made by
  |         the application are not rolled back.
  
  |     NO
  |         A ROLB call is not issued at the completion of the
  |         application
  
  
  | PERMLOAD=
  |   Specifies whether to keep the application loaded after its
  |   run.
  |     YES
  |         Requests to keep the application loaded after its
  |         runs.
  |         The application is not deleted after its run  it
  |         remains to be loaded. If the application is requested
  |         again, the loaded application is used instead of
  |         loading the application again.
  
  |     NO
  |         Requests to delete the loaded application after its
  |         run.
  |         If the application was already loaded before this run
  |         and the PERMLOAD=NO option or no PERMLOAD= keyword is
  |         specified for this run, the application remains
  |         loaded even after this run.
