PSS Exit Routine

Print Subsystem (PSS) provides a user exit capability that lets each user tailor output to system printers. The PSS user exit routine was created to translate shift-single and shift-double characters surrounding double-byte character set (DBCS) data.

The exit is optional. If you do not enable an exit, PSS takes no special action. However, if you enable an exit, PSS uses it. An exit is enabled if it exists in the load library, but the exit module must first be linked with the PSS batch utility (SCPSUTIL) and the PSS main online module (SCPSMAIN). The JCL to establish this link is included in How to Set Up SCF-based Products in an MRO Environment.
