PSEUDO

PSEUDO

ON
OFF

PSEUDO turns the pseudo-conversational mode on or off.

Operands

ON

enables automatic pseudo-conversational support so that when the next REXX PULL instruction or
REXX/CICS WAITREAD command is encountered in the current exec, instead of a conversational
terminal read occurring immediately, an EXEC CICS RETURN TRANSID is used to suspend the exec
until terminal input occurs, and then the terminal read occurs.

OFF

disables (turns off) automatic pseudo-conversational support.

Return Codes

Example

'PSEUDO ON'

This example turns the pseudo-conversational mode on.

Note

The PSEUDO ON/OFF setting is temporary. The pseudo setting exists while the current exec is executing.
Any nested execs inherit the current setting of PSEUDO When the current exec ends, the value of pseudo
upon entry to the exec will be restored. The SETSYS PSEUDO command defines the systems default
setting of PSEUDO.

CAUTION:
PSEUDO ON will cause your REXX exec to immediately become pseudo-conversational which will
cause CICS to commit any file changes, and free any non-shared GETMAINed areas, at the next
pseudo-conversational terminal read.
