An exit program can be specified for an action list option using the USREXIT attribute of the list action (LISTACT) tag. The exit program is called immediately after the action specified on the ENTER, PROMPT, EXTENTER, or EXTPROMPT attribute of the LISTACT tag is processed.
An exit program for a pull-down field choice can be specified using the USREXIT attribute of the pull-down field choice (PDFLDC) tag. The exit program is called immediately after the action specified on the ACTION attribute of the PDFLDC tag is processed.
Normally, this exit program adds, updates, or removes a list entry for the application when the action list option or pull-down choice action is a command string. The exit program should not change list entries other than the one currently being processed. If it does, remaining UIM list processing may not perform as expected. If the exit program changes the current entry for the list by adding a new entry to the list, the exit program should reset the current entry to the one currently being processed before returning control to the UIM. If the exit program does not do this, remaining UIM list processing may not perform as expected.
Escape messages received by the UIM from the exit program cause the UIM to stop list processing, and display the messages when the panel is reshown. If the dialog variable identifying the exit program is null (for a pointer variable) or blanks (for a character variable), no exception is reported by the UIM and processing continues as if the USREXIT attribute is not specified.
The cancel and exit flags for the job are not reset before the exit program is called, and the flags are not checked after the exit program returns control to the UIM. Therefore, the cancel and exit flags should not be turned on by the exit program.
None.
A structure that provides information related to the user request. For details, see Single Parameter Structure.
This parameter must be set to the following value:
| 5 | The exit program is called for an action list option or pull-down choice when ACTFOR=LIST is specified on the PDFLDC tag. |
The application handle of the application that is currently being processed by the UIM.
The name of the panel that is currently being processed by the UIM.
The name of the list that is currently being processed by the UIM.
The handle of the list entry that is currently being processed by the UIM. The following value can be used:
| EXTE | Processes the extended action entry. |
The option number of the list action or pull-down choice that is currently being processed for the specified list entry.
Indicates the action to be performed. Here are the possible values:
| 0 | Performs the action specified on the ENTER or EXTENTER attribute of the list action (LISTACT) tag or the ACTION attribute of the PDFLDC tag. |
| -10 | Performs the action specified on the PROMPT or EXTPROMPT attribute of the LISTACT tag. |
Indicates whether the list action or pull-down choice is successful. Here are the possible values:
| 0 | The list action or pull-down choice is successful. |
| 1 | The list action or pull-down choice is unsuccessful. |
A list action or pull-down choice is considered unsuccessful if any of the following occurs:
Conversely, the list action is successful if none of the above occur.
The name of the pull-down field from which the pull-down choice is selected. If the pull-down field does not have a name, this parameter is set to blanks.
When the action being processed is not a pull-down choice, this parameter is set to blanks.
This parameter is available only when the interface level is set to two or greater.
