Customizing the Exit

This exit does not use CICS commands so it does not need to be translated for CICS and it specifies RUNTIME-PARM1 and RUNTIME-PARM2 in both the Linkage Section and the Procedure Division statement.

The SIP-TS-PREFIX parameter is used in conjunction with the CICS taskid to make up the name of a unique TSQ used by the server. This TSQ should be local and is required during the execution of each server. If changed, this parameter must be unique per CICS region.

The DEST-ERR parameter provides the name of a transient data queue (TDQ) where error messages are written to. If changed, ensure this TDQ exists to obtain these required messages.

The DEST-INFO parameter provides the name of a transient data queue (TDQ) where informational messages are written to. If this TDQ does not exist the informational messages will be suppressed.

The SELECT-TIMEOUT-SECS and SELECT-TIMEOUT-MICROSEC parameters combine to become the TIMEOUT parameter of the Socket SELECT call. This SELECT call is used to determine if the socket contains data to be retrieved before doing a Socket RECV call or Socket READ call.

The ERROR-IP-FLAG parameter is used to tell the server runtime whether to add the IP address to the some socket and CICS error messages. The default is to not add the IP address.

Modify the parameters as required by the application.
