EXITS Statement

The EXITS statement is used to identify exit routines you want IEBGENER to use. The syntax of the EXITS statement is:

Label	Statement	Parameters
[label]	EXITS	[INHDR=routinename] [,OUTHDR=routinename] [,INTLR=routinename] [,OUTTLR=routinename] [,KEY=routinename] [,DATA=routinename] [,IOERROR=routinename] [,TOTAL=(routinename,size)]

where:

INHDR=routinename

specifies the name of the routine that processes user input header labels.

OUTHDR=routinename

specifies the name of the routine that creates user output header labels. OUTHDR is ignored if the output data set is partitioned.

INTLR=routinename

specifies the name of the routine that processes user input trailer labels.

OUTTLR=routinename

specifies the name of the routine that processes user output trailer labels. OUTTLR is ignored if the output data set is partitioned.

KEY=routinename

specifies the name of the routine that creates the output record key. This routine does not receive control when a data set consisting of variable spanned (VS) or variable blocked spanned (VBS) type records is processed because no processing of keys is permitted for this type of data.

DATA=routinename

specifies the name of the routine that modifies the physical record (logical record for variable blocked type records) before it is processed by IEBGENER.

IOERROR=routinename

specifies the name of the routine that handles permanent input/output error conditions.

TOTAL=(routinename,size)

specifies that a user exit routine is to be provided before writing each record. The keyword OPTCD=T must be specified for the SYSUT2 DD statement. TOTAL is valid only when IEBGENER is used to process sequential data sets. These values must be coded:

routinename: specifies the name of your totaling routine.
size: specifies the number of bytes needed to contain totals, counters, pointers, and so forth. Size should be coded as a whole decimal number.
