I searched this forum and found a couple hits where the operand2 was mentioned but not explained. I was just wondering how this can be used and possibly see an example of how it can be used?

Thank you in advance.

It is explained to a certain extent, the [TERMINATE](http://techcommunity.softwareag.com/ecosystem/documentation/natural/nat427mf/sm/terminat.htm) statement points to the [PROGRAM](http://techcommunity.softwareag.com/ecosystem/documentation/natural/nat427mf/parms/program.htm) profile parameter which finally points to [Back-End Program Calling Conventions](http://techcommunity.softwareag.com/ecosystem/documentation/natural/nat427mf/ops_mf/misc_back.htm)

The backend program may use it to route further processing based on where the natural process left, write accounting information, etc., etc.

I haven’t seen a “real-world” example of how it is used so far, though 😉

Thanks for the quick reply. It probably explains why I could not find many hits.
