Modifying TRS Processing

Code user exit TLMSXTRS so that it checks for specific values in one or more of the VMF fields and ignores volumes that have those values. (Recommended fields to use for this purpose are fields such as USER, CJOB, LJOB, OUTSRV, or MFG.) Then, manually update all volumes which you want ignored so that they contain these values in the fields you are checking. This has the effect of a global TRS bypass, which can also be used for other purposes. The value in the SMS field is also available to the user exit.
