Suppressing and rerouting messages

CICS provides a global user exit point, XMEOUT, that is invoked before a message is sent from the message domain to its destination. XMEOUT can be used to invoke an exit program to intercept messages issued by SEND MESSAGE requests, and suppress the messages, change their destination, or leave them alone.

About this task

CICS provides six sample user exit programs, DFH$SXP1 through DFH$SXP6, which you can use to suppress or reroute messages.

For programming information about this global user exit and the sample user exit programs, see XMEOUT and the user exit programming interface (XPI)
