SYSGEN User-Exit Program › When a User Exit is Called

When a User Exit is Called

The SYSGEN user-exit module is called by the system generation 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 system generation compiler has identified the entity that is the object of the request and has successfully checked authorization requirements. Object entities can be any standard system generation 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 SYSGEN Compiler Activity List
  • Displayed at the terminal
  • Written to the print file (online SYSGEN 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, the user can perform a termination activity, such as a write-to-log:

  • The user presses ENTER during an online SYSGEN compiler session
  • A batch run of the SYSGEN compiler processes a SIGNOFF statement
  • A batch run of the SYSGEN compiler detects an end-of-file condition.
