Exits

There are four types of exits that you can define for an Access Method. The Exist exit (if defined) is responsible for member existence checking. The MSL exit (if defined) reads a library directory and returns the list of names to CA‑PanAPT, so names can be selected from the list and added to a Move Request. The Edit exit invokes an editor for a member, so a user can change it. The Browse exit allows a member to be browsed but not changed. Any combination of these exits can be defined to an Access Method.

Name

Optional. Length: 1‑8. Type: alphanumeric.

Enter the program name of the exit.

Parameter

Optional. Length: 1‑50. Type: alphanumeric.

Enter the parameter to pass to the exit. Usually exits do not require a parameter.
