RSCS Exit Facility

The RSCS exit facility is an interface between RSCS and your routines. When you use this exit facility, you can modify certain RSCS processes without directly altering RSCS source code. Your exit routines remain independent of RSCS code. This can simplify maintenance and increase the portability of your exit routines.

Using the RSCS exit facility, you can customize different areas of RSCS processing, including:
  • Abnormal end (abend)
  • Auto-answer sign-on
  • Commands
  • Messages
  • Network job entry (NJE) header
  • Separator page output
  • Spool file
  • Start and end

You do not need to supply exit routines as part of standard RSCS processing. Use of the RSCS exit facility is optional. If you do not implement an exit point, it is transparent during standard RSCS processing.
