EXITS Statement

You use the EXITS statement to identify any exit routines you want to use. If an exit routine is used, the EXITS statement is required. If you use more than one EXITS statement, IEBCOMPR only uses the last EXITS statement. All others are ignored.

The syntax of the EXITS statement is:

Label	Statement	Parameters
[label]	EXITS	[INHDR=routinename]
		[,INTLR=routinename]
		[,ERROR=routinename]
		[,PRECOMP=routinename]

where:

INHDR=routinename: specifies the name of the routine that processes user input header labels.
INTLR=routinename: specifies the name of the routine that processes user input trailer labels.
ERROR=routinename: specifies the name of the routine that is to receive control for error handling after each unequal comparison. If this parameter is omitted and ten consecutive unequal comparisons occur while IEBCOMPR is comparing sequential data sets, processing is stopped; if the input data sets are partitioned or PDSE, processing continues with the next member.
PRECOMP=routinename: specifies the name of the routine that processes logical records (physical blocks in the case of variable spanned (VS) or variable blocked spanned (VBS) records longer than 32K bytes) from either or both of the input data sets before they are compared.
