A channel and containers may be passed to a new transaction via the
START CHANNEL command.
Is it also possible to pass back containers on same channel to the parent transaction which issued the START?

Once you kick off a new start.. you are detached from where your transaction initiated.. so why not ? Try it out .

I will try it, but IBM doc says this:

"The started task is given a copy of the channel's containers (and the data they contain). The copy is made when the START command is issued."

So if started task is a given a copy I suspect it is impossible to return a container in the original channel

I tried on a 5.6 system and the program issuing the START CHANNEL
can't receive a container created on the channel by the started task.
