Issue/Introduction
When using the &INTCMD verb in combination with the SUBMIT command in a NCL procedure, the SUBMIT may be flushed and not executed.
When using an &INTCMD verb with a SUBMIT command in this format:
&INTCMD SUBMIT userid command...
The following message may be seen:
N03909 SUBMIT FLUSHED. NCLID nnnnnn
Cause
The &INTCMD NCL verb is designed to issue a product command from the current NCL processing environment and then the command responses are passed back to the current environment for further processing.
The SUBMIT command issues a command in a specific processing environment other than the current environment, so no command responses will be returned for further processing. Thus, there is no need to issue a SUBMIT command via an &INTCMD verb. If the current processing environment ends before the SUBMIT command completes, the SUBMIT will be flushed.
Resolution
Do not issue a SUBMIT command via an &INTCMD verb in a NCL procedure. There is no need to do this since no command responses will be returned from the command issued by the SUBMIT. If you need to use a SUBMIT command, you should issue it in your NCL as is without prefacing it with the &INTCMD verb.
