RE: IM Transaction Processing/Entry: Allocating Batches toOrigina ting Workstation

The only thing it does is to give the user a second chance when they 'X'

Did I miss something or read more into this change...
Is checking the exit box suppose to also help prevent abend jobs in Mapics
if I just hit the "X"  to close..  Because I am getting an abend job in the
