User-Exit Program for Schema and Subschema Compiler › When a User Exit is Called

When a User Exit is Called

The user-exit module is called by the applicable compiler when it encounters any of these four points:

• SIGNON/SIGNOFF/COMMIT

  After the signon procedure is complete and the compiler's security checks have been passed, or immediately after signoff or COMMIT processing.

• Major command

  After an ADD, MODIFY, DELETE, DISPLAY or PUNCH request has been issued. The program is invoked just after the applicable compiler has identified the entity that is the object of the request and has successfully checked authorization requirements. Object entities can be any standard schema or subschema entity type.

• Card image

  After each input statement (card image) is passed to the user-exit control block after the statement has been:

  • Scanned and printed on the applicable Compiler Activity List
  • Displayed on the terminal
  • Written to the print file (online compiler interface only)

  The administrator can build an audit trail of accesses and updates to the dictionary.

• End of converse

  When one of the following occurs, you can perform a termination activity, such as a write-to-log:

  • Pressing Enter during an online compiler session
  • A batch run of the compiler processes a SIGNOFF statement
  • A batch run of the compiler detects an end-of-file condition
