Hi, Can someone let me know how an online NATURAL program will end its processing and return control to CICS? For example, in COBOL/CICS program, we use EXEC CICS RETURN statement to return control to CICS after the processing is over. Do we have any similar statement in NATURAL? Or will the “END” keyword at the end of the program will take care of returning control to CICS? If not, what is the usual process? Thanks, Selva. ---
