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 / harish
hI,
iF EXEC CICS
RETURN END-EXC MEANS LIKE STOP RUN CONTROL GOES
TO CICS
CONSIDER
A.PROG
EXEC CICS
RETURN TRANSID('ABCD') MEANS RETURN THE CONTROL TO B
PROG TRANSID('ABCD')
EXEC CICS
XCTL PROGB
COMMAREA(WS-COMMAREA)
LENGTH(10)
END-EXEC.
MEANS ITS PERMANENTLY TRANSFERRING CONTROL TO
PROGB,NEVER EXPECT THE CONTROL TO RETURN BACK......
AS YOU KNOW IN COBOL WHAT HAPPENS IF WE ISSUE "GOTO"

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..
