ExitUserArea (MQBYTE16)

This field specifies the exit user area - a field available for the exit to use.

It is initialized to binary zero before the first invocation of the exit (which has an ExitReason set to MQXR_INIT), and thereafter any changes made to this field by the exit are preserved across invocations of the exit.

The following value is defined:

MQXUA_NONE

No user information.

The value is binary zero for the length of the field.

For the C programming language, the constant MQXUA_NONE_ARRAY is also defined; this constant has the same value as MQXUA_NONE, but is an array of characters instead of a string.

The length of this field is given by MQ_EXIT_USER_AREA_LENGTH. This is an input/output field to the exit.
