PICF Case Closure (Command Code TSCLS)

  1. This process accesses a Partner record and all of it’s linkage records. If all the linkages have been set to a closed status through TSCHG, then the Partner record is marked as closed. See Exhibit 2.2.4–1 and Exhibit 2.2.7-1..

  2. A TSCLS-REC is written to the GENDATA tape for the Partner Record that is successfully marked as closed for later batch processing.

  3. When an error is detected, one of the following messages will be displayed on line 13 of the output screen. Where appropriate, the operator should correct the input screen element and re-enter the request. If the input is successfully processed, the message "REQUEST COMPLETED" will be displayed on line 13.

  4. TSCLSE allows a user to remove a new linkage, entered in error using TSLOD, by setting the PICF-CD value to zero on AIMS. The user is required to (1) input a TSDEL to remove the linkage; (2) input a TSCLSE; (3) input an AM424D. All of these steps must be completed the same day as the TSLOD was input, and before EOD processing.

Any time data is present on any line other than line 1, the message REQUEST COMPLETED. ONLY PARTNER DATA REQUIRE will appear, if the transaction was completed successfully. As TSCLS no longer sets the PN-CLSD-PTRSHP-IND, the Partnership information is no longer mandatory.

A linkage record has been found that has not been closed. The Partnership TIN (07–1234567), MFT (06) and TAX-PRD (198512) are displayed on line 14 to help resolve this error (there may be others, this is just the first one found).

Note:

All linkage records must be closed via TSCHG before TSCLS can set the PN-SUM-CLOSED-IND of the Partner record.
