Hi,

This is regarding the keyword SEGNO in IMS TRANSACT macro. As per IBM manual SEGNO Specifies the maximum number of application program output segments that are allowed into the message queues per Get Unique (GU) call from the application program.

We have a transaction which contains SEGNO as 2000, but keeps on abending with a U0499 abend code. When I ran a Performance report using the IMS log, I found that the transaction reached the 2000 segno insert limit for DC Call ISRT.

So my doubt here is

My transaction has the following properties
