ERROR Exit Processing

The JCLCHECK-ERREXIT processing point does not provide updated statement information (JOB, EXEC, DD, or DATA SET). Rather, this exit point makes specific ERROR INFORMATION available. This information pertains to the specific statement that causes CA JCLCheck to issue the error and the message information itself.

Processing at this exit point may include the full range of I/O requests to allow you to perform additional job stream analysis (excluding type 13). However, issuance of an additional error message (request type 41) is not permitted.

The range of user actions is limited to the following:

• Modify the severity of the current error.
• Suppress printing (generation) of the current error.
• Take no action at all.

You cannot alter the number or text of the error message, and you cannot direct the message toward a different statement.
