Install the load module that contains the exit into an
APF-authorized library.
ICSF uses
this normal
z/OS search order to locate the exit:
- Job pack area
- Steplib (if one exists)
- Joblib (if one exists)
- Link pack area (LPA)
- Link list (SYS1.LINKLIB concatenation)
Define the
ICSF name and load module name on the EXIT keyword in the installation
options data set. For more information about the installation options
data set, see
Parameters in the installation options data set. The EXIT keyword
has this syntax:
- EXIT ( ICSF name, load module name, FAIL (options) )
The
ICSF name portion of the keyword refers to the
ICSF name
for the exit. The
ICSF name
for the conversion program exit is CSFCONVX. The
load module name is the name of the load module that contains the exit. This name
can be any valid name that your installation chooses. The
FAIL portion of the EXIT keyword specifies the action
ICSF takes
if the exit cannot be loaded. The valid FAIL options are
NONE,
EXIT,
SERVICE, and
CSF. For the conversion
program exit, you can use these options only:
- NONE
- Initialization continues even if exit cannot be loaded.
- ICSF
- Initialization ends if exit cannot be loaded.
You must specify a FAIL option. If you do not, ICSF returns
an error message, ends abnormally, and generates an SVC dump when
attempting to load the exit.
If the exit ends abnormally, the conversion program does also.
