A banner exit is an installation-written NCL procedure. The banner exit allows you to tailor the banner page printed at the front of the output for a print request. The banner exit is executed by the system before printing the output for a request.
It is passed information regarding the print request, and can pass back to the system the information that is to be printed on the banner page.
The variables passed to the banner exit by the system are as follows:
The user ID of the user who generated the print request.
The number of the print request.
The date the print request was generated in the format DD-MMM-YYYY.
The time the print request was generated in the format HH.MM.SS.
