Separation of User Exits

User exits are no longer linked with the code that invokes them. This change impacts the following exits:

• Exits invoked in the CICS environment are now linked with the IDMSINTC or IDMSINTL stub module instead of the interface. For more information, see Interface Configuration Enhancements.
• The CA IDMS DML Online exit (USDMLXIT) is no longer linked with DMLO, and it is dynamically loaded at run time. For more information, see CA IDMS Tools Installation and Configuration Enhancements.
• Other named user exits, such as IDMSCALC and IDMSIOX2, are no longer linked with the CA modules that invoke them. Instead, they are linked with the IDMSUXIT vector module. For more information about this new facility, see Named User Exit Enablement.

CA ADS Built-in Function Management

In previous releases, some sites improved CA ADS performance by tailoring the link of ADSOMAIN to include their own or CA-supplied built-in functions. The management of CA ADS BIFs has been enhanced in Version 18.0 so there is no longer a need for taking this action.
