It would be good to be able to establish a point to remove the ESTAE. It would be bad style to leave it, but I think the termination of the task will destroy it anyway. However, there may be an exit point that can be used to remove it.
I am unsure whether all this will work. It was simply an "untried suggestion" 😊.

What about IEBCOPY end-of-job, when it deletes its ESTAE? Is that an error, if there is an additional ESTAE on the chain, the new one proposed to be established by the exit?

It could be another ESTAE, or it could be back to the SLIH.

Is it an error to cancel a "middle" ESTAE, or does z/OS gracefully remove it from the middle of the chain?

Since the error is passed to the latest ESTAE created, you may be able to get control at an exit point in IEBCOPY that is taken *after* IEBCOPY's ESTAE is established. You would need to establish code which takes the details you need and then allow the error to percolate to the next ESTAE, which would be IEBCOPY's ESTAE. The description of exit points in IEBCOPY is in the manual, but it may take you some trial and error to determine whether IEBCOPY has already established his ESTAE. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
