EXITS Statement

The EXITS statement is used to identify exit routines that you want IEBPTPCH to use for label or record processing. Exits to label processing routines are ignored if the input data set is partitioned. Linkage to and from user routines are discussed in Specifying User Exits with Utility Programs.

The EXITS statement, if used, must immediately follow any TITLE statement or follow the PRINT or PUNCH statement.

The syntax of the EXITS statement is:

Label	Statement	Parameters
[label]	EXITS	[INHDR=routinename] [,INTLR=routinename] [,INREC=routinename] [,OUTREC=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.
INREC=routinename: specifies the name of the routine that manipulates each logical record (or physical block in the case of VS or VBS records longer than 32K bytes) before it is processed.
OUTREC=routinename: specifies the name of the routine that manipulates each logical record (or physical block in the case of VS or VBS records longer than 32K bytes) before it is printed or punched.
