Arsuupdt DLL

When ARSLOAD loads a document, it makes two calls of the DLL.

1. The Names call allows the exit to modify the following specifications:
   • application group name
   • application name
   • object server name
   • storage node name
   • DbField_date format
   • DbField_name
2. The Parameters call allows the exit to modify the following parameters:
   • indexer parameters
   • viewer parameters:
     • logical record length
     • record format
     • control character type

The arsuupdt DLL must be stored in the /usr/lpp/ars/V9R5M0/bin/exits directory and must have the APF extended attribute turned on. The arsuupdt DLL must have an exported entry point of UPDTEXIT. A sample to compile and link the ARSUUPDC is provided in ARSUUPDJ in the SARSINST data set.

The -E option must be specified to ARSLOAD before the exit will be called.

The exit can run in a threaded environment. The exit must be thread-safe.
