<div><p>This is an example of transferring control to improve performance.</p>
<div class="section"> <p>In the following illustration, if Program A is specified with
USRPRF(*OWNER), the owner's authorities are in effect for all of the programs
shown. If Program B is specified with USRPRF(*OWNER), the owner's authorities
are in effect only while Programs B and C are active. When Program B transfers
control to Program D, Program B is no longer in the call stack and the owner
of Program B is no longer considered for authorization during the running
of Program D. When the programs complete processing (by returning or transferring
control), the owner's authorities are no longer in effect. Any overrides
issued by Program B remain in effect while Program D is running and are lost
when Program D does a return.<br /><img src="rbafn546.gif" alt="In this illustration, if Program A is specified with USRPRF(*OWNER), the owner's authorities are in effect for all of the programs shown.

<p>The <span class="cmdname">Transfer
Control (TFRCTL)</span> command has the following format: </p>
<pre>TFRCTL PGM(library-name/program-name) PARM(CL-variable)</pre>
<p>The program (and library qualifier) may be a variable.</p>
<p>It
is important to note that only variables may be used as parameter arguments
on this command, and that those variables must have been received as a parameter
in the argument list from the program that called the transferring program.
That is, the <span class="cmdname">Transfer Control (TFRCTL)</span> command cannot
pass a variable that was not passed to the program running the <span class="cmdname">Transfer
Control (TFRCTL)</span> command.</p>
<p>In the following example, the first <span class="cmdname">Transfer
Control (TFRCTL)</span> is valid. The second <span class="cmdname">Transfer Control
(TFRCTL)</span> command is not valid because &amp;B was not passed to this
program. The third TFRCTL command is not valid because a constant cannot
be specified as an argument. </p>
<pre>PGM PARM(&amp;A)
DCL &amp;A *DEC 3
DCL &amp;B *CHAR 10
IF (&amp;A *GT 100) THEN (TFRCTL PGM(PGMA) PARM(&amp;A)) /* valid */
IF (&amp;A *GT 50) THEN (TFRCTL PGM(PGMB) PARM(&amp;B)) /* not valid */
ELSE (TFRCTL PGM(PGMC) PARM('1')) /* not valid */
ENDPGM</pre>
