Exit name fields

 

When an exit is called, the relevant field from SecurityExit, MsgExit, SendExit, ReceiveExit, and MsgRetryExit contains the name of the exit currently being invoked. The meaning of the name in these fields depends on the environment in which the MCA is running. Except where noted below, the name is left-justified within the field, with no embedded blanks; the name is padded with blanks to the length of the field. In the descriptions that follow, square brackets ([ ]) denote optional information:

UNIX systems

The exit name is the name of a dynamically-loadable module or library, suffixed with the name of a function residing in that library. The function name must be enclosed in parentheses. The library name can optionally be prefixed with a directory path:

[path]library(function)

The name is limited to a maximum of 128 characters.

z/OS

The exit name is the name of a load module that is valid for specification on the EP parameter of the LINK or LOAD macro. The name is limited to a maximum of 8 characters.

Windows

The exit name is the name of a dynamic-link library, suffixed with the name of a function residing in that library. The function name must be enclosed in parentheses. The library name can optionally be prefixed with a directory path and drive:

[d:][path]library(function)

The name is limited to a maximum of 128 characters.

i5/OS

The exit name is a 10-byte program name followed by a 10-byte library name. If the names are less than 10 bytes long, each name is padded with blanks to make it 10 bytes. The library name can be *LIBL except when calling a channel auto-definition exit, in which case a fully qualified name is required.
