2. A REASON of ‘NO_STORAGE’ with a RESPONSE of ‘EXCEPTION’ means that
there was insufficient storage to satisfy this request, and SUSPEND(NO) was
specified.
3. A REASON of ‘PROGRAM_NOT_FOUND’ is returned if the program has not
been included in the library concatenation, or if the link-edit failed. In such a
case, the program is marked as “not executable”; it must be re-linked before it
can be successfully acquired.
The RELEASE_PROGRAM call
RELEASE_PROGRAM decrements the use count of a currently loaded program by
one.
If the program has been defined with the RELOAD attribute, the storage occupied
by this copy of the program is released.
You should issue the ACQUIRE_PROGRAM and RELEASE_PROGRAM requests
for a single program during the same execution of the exit program. If you do not
want to do this, you should acquire the program once during CICS initialization, and
leave it resident until CICS termination.
