6. ABEND-OVERRIDE (1 byte)

This field is used on any command to temporarily override the current setting of the ABEND switch. If it is set to Y and an error occurs, the program (or transaction) will abend. If it is set to N and an error occurs, the program will not abend but the appropriate error code is returned in the ERROR field. If left blank, the action that will be taken is determined by the current setting of the ABEND Status switch (see Change Status (CS)). After the execution of any command, this field is reset to blank.
