Arguments You Can Pass to selang Exits

When writing exits you can take advantage of the three parameters mentioned previously (CLASS, ACTION, and STAGE), and all the standard CA ControlMinder data such as names and permissions. You can also designate extra user or group data especially for use by the exit scripts. To store such additional data for a user or group, define it within single quotes as the value of the user's or group's UNIX APPL property in a newusr, chusr, newgrp, or chgrp command. For example:

chusr JONESY unix APPL('HIRED=MAY93,CLEARANCE=2')

Your exit program must be able to handle whatever is between the single quotes.
