Install the load module that contains the exit into an APF-authorized
library.
ICSF uses this search order to locate the exit:
- Job pack area
- Steplib (if one exists)
- Joblib (if one exists)
- Link pack area (LPA)
- Link list (SYS1.LINKLIB concatenation)
Define the
ICSF name and load module name on the EXIT keyword
of the installation options data set. For more information about the
installation options data set, see
Parameters in the installation options data set. The EXIT
keyword has this syntax:
- EXIT ( ICSF name, load module name, FAIL (options)
)
The
ICSF name portion of the keyword refers
to the
ICSF name for the exit. The
ICSF name for the
single-record, read-write exit
is CSFSRRW. The
load module name is the name
of the load module that contains the exit. The name can be any valid
name that your installation chooses. The
FAIL portion
of the EXIT keyword specifies the action
ICSF takes if the exit
cannot be loaded or ends abnormally. The valid FAIL options are:
- NONE
- Do not take any action.
- EXIT
- Do not call this exit again.
- SERVICE
- Fail the service that called the exit.
- ICSF
- Fail the service that called the exit.
You must specify a FAIL option. If you do not, ICSF returns an
error message, ends abnormally, and generates an SVC dump when attempting
to load the exit. If you specify FAIL(ICSF) and the exit cannot be
loaded, ICSF initialization does not continue. If you specify FAIL(ICSF)
and the exit ends abnormally, ICSF issues an advisory message that ICSF should
be ended.
