How the BEGIN Event Works

Only one BEGIN action may be specified in the SSMV2_GBLEXIT_TBL global action table. The BEGIN event runs after the SSMBEGIN request rule.

In the action, SSM!PROCESS is always set to BEGIN and SSM!IPL is always set to YES for the first pass following a system IPL. Otherwise, SSM!IPL is NO.

Example: BEGIN Event

Following is an example of a BEGIN event that will execute a request rule called SSMSTART, which is passed to the SSM!IPL built-in variable:

SSMV2_GBLEXIT_TBL ------------ TABLE DATA EDITOR ----------- COLUMNS 00001 00072
