Ending Commitment Control

Commitment control may be ended for either the job-level or activation-group-level commitment definition by using the End Commitment Control (ENDCMTCTL) command. The ENDCMTCTL command indicates to the system that the commitment definition for the activation group of the program making the request is to be ended. The ENDCMTCTL command ends one commitment definition for the job. All other commitment definitions for the job remain unchanged.

If the commitment definition at the activation group level is ended, programs running within that activation group can no longer make changes under commitment control. If the job-level commitment definition is started or already exists, any new file open operations specifying commitment control use the job-level commitment definition.

If the job-level commitment definition is ended, any program running within the job that was using the job-level commitment definition can no longer make changes under commitment control. If commitment control is started again with the STRCMTCTL command, changes can be made.
