SA z/OS User Exits

To allow user-specific activities that are not covered by the Customization Dialog, SA z/OS provides support for the following classes of user exits:

  • Customization Dialog exits that can be called during certain phases when working with the Customization Dialog, see Customization Dialog Exits
  • Initialization exits that are called at the start of SA z/OS initialization, before message AOF603D is issued, see Initialization Exits
  • Static exits that are called at fixed points during SA z/OS processing, see Static Exits
  • Flag exits that are called when SA z/OS needs to evaluate an automation flag, see Flag Exits
  • Command exits that can be called during the processing of certain commands, see Command Exits

For copying and updating sample exits refer to IBM Z® System Automation Planning and Installation.

Additionally, SA z/OS has a number of facilities that behave in an exit-like manner, see Pseudo-Exits.
