Front-end termination
The OPTIONS CLOSE APPLICATION instruction
defines the callback function in case of front-end
termination.
Syntax
OPTIONS ON CLOSE APPLICATION CALL functionUsage
The OPTIONS ON CLOSE APPLICATION
CALL function can be used to execute
specific code when the front-end stops. For example, when the front-end
program is stopped, when the user workstation session is ended,
or when the workstation is shut down.
Before stopping, the front-end sends an internal event that is trapped by the runtime system. When a callback function is specified with this program option command, the application code that was executing is canceled, and the callback function is executed before the program stops.
Use the OPTIONS ON CLOSE APPLICATION CALL function
instruction with care, and do not execute complex code in the callback function. The code is expected to contain only simple and short
cleanup operations; any interactive instruction must be
avoided.
