I don't think passing a CHANNEL name is needed if you are RETURNing the control to CICS. What will CICS do with the CHANNEL name, I guess nothing.
To me, the only time a CHANNEL name is needed in RETURN is when you are RETURNing control to another program. The program to which the control is RETURNed may do something with the CHANNEL name (get the CONTAINER(s) in the specific CHANNEL and do some processing).
