Exit Operation

You must specify TDF entities to the exit as eight‑character names in the following format:

nnnnnnTT

where nnnnnn is the TDF member name (TDFMEM) and TT is the CA‑Telon definition type (for example, SD or BD).

The models, on the other hand, accept six‑ or eight‑character entity names. (Any other length is reported as an error by both the exit and the models.) If you specify a six‑character entity name, the models use the CA‑Telon definition type specified in the Library Code modeling information. If you specify an eight‑character entity name, the models assume that the name's last two characters are a legal CA‑Telon‑definition type.

Your Systems Programmer can modify the CA‑Telon member existence exit to accept six‑character names. If he does so, he must tell you how the modification works. In addition, the CA‑Telon member existence exit appends .TNTDF to the VS Qualifier in the CA‑Telon procs.
