Parameters

Parameters are supplied in sequence, delimited by blanks.

Flag

This is the name of the flag that is being checked. Possible values are AUTOMATION, INITSTART, START, RECOVERY, TERMINATE or RESTART.

Time Setting

Time Setting is a constant. It can be either:

AUTO

Automation is currently turned on.

NOAUTO

Automation is currently turned off.

A value of NOAUTO is possible only if AOCQRY is called with the parameter EXITS=FORCED.

Note: This ensures that the exit is invoked, but it is not possible for an exit to override a NOAUTO period.

Resource Name

This is the name of the resource that the flag is being requested for. For minor resources it contains the fully qualified minor resource name. Given no flag definition for TSO.USER.MAG1 and an exit enabled for TSO.USER, the resource name passed to the exit would be TSO.USER.MAG1 if a check was made for TSO.USER.MAG1.

Resource Type

This is the type of the resource that the flag is being requested for. Possible values are DEFAULTS, SUBSYSTEM, or MVSESA (the value of the common global variable AOFSYSTEM).

Target Prefix

This is the TGPFX value with which AOCQRY was invoked. If TGPFX is not specified, the value SUB is passed.
