NEWS User Exit

NEWS can present all records received across the VTAM CNM interface to an installation-supplied user exit before any processing is performed for the record.

The exit can perform any desired processing of the record and can indicate that the record is to be ignored by NEWS, unless it was generated in response to a solicitation request by an &CNMSEND statement.

Note: APPN alerts sent to the ALERT-NETOP NEWS application, and records from remote regions arriving over ISR links are not passed to the exit.
