Answer / narender pathi

RETURN TRANSID can only be executed in the highest logical level where as XCTL can be used to transfer control in any level. However in the highest logical level both work similar way.

You will get INVREQ if you try to execute RETURN TRANSID in lower logical levels.

Answer / shankargouda y annigeri

When we issue a return with transis..The control is given
to the transid which must be one logical upwards.
In example 1:A is issuing REUTRN with TRANSID to
prog B..Means control goes to prog B which must be one
logical upwards..

XCTL means:No return is expected..
