Tape Information Exit Program
| Required Parameter Group: | |||
| 1 | Operational information | Input | Char(*) |
| Exit Point Name: QIBM_A1A_TAPE_INF | |||
| Exit Point Format Name: MEDI0100 | |||
The exit program is called each time that a file is written to a tape. The exit program must be registered to the exit point described above. For example, if a SAVLIB command saved 10 libraries to a tape, the exit would be called 10 times, passing information about each tape file resulting from the save of the libraries. To use this exit point, the customer must develop an exit program and register it to the exit point name and exit point format name shown above. After registration, BRMS will call the program and pass the information described by the parameters.
Required Parameter Group
- Operation information
- INPUT; Char(*)
Information about the tape operation at the time the exit program is called.
