Installing the exit

There are no required naming conventions for the exit. After you write and install the exit, you must associate the name of the exit with its corresponding syntax checker and data set type. To associate the exit name with a syntax checker and data set type, use the IKJEDIT macro instruction and submit a System Modification Program Extended (SMP/E) job to perform the association. Using IKJEDIT, specify the names of the data set type, syntax checker, and exit. For more information about the syntax of the IKJEDIT macro, see IKJEDIT macro.

As an example, suppose you define your own data set type, associated syntax checker, and corresponding exit as follows:

Name of data set type — TYPEX
Syntax checker name — SYNTAX1
Exit name for syntax checker — SYN1EXIT

On IKJEDIT, include the following operands:

DSTYPE(TYPEX)
CHECKER(SYNTAX1)
USEREXT(SYN1EXIT)

IKJEDIT generates the following two CSECTs:

IKJEBEPD, which is link-edited with the IKJEBEPS module in SYS1.CMDLIB
IKJEBINS, which is link-edited with the EDIT command in SYS1.CMDLIB

Both CSECTs are required.

TSO/E provides a sample job in SYS1.SAMPLIB member IKJTSMPE that shows how to use IKJEDIT. Instructions for using the sample job are included in the SYS1.SAMPLIB member.
