Path Name Translation Parameters

For a path name translation function, the exit is passed the following parameter addresses:

+0

The address of a single byte containing the character ‘P’ indicating that this is a path name translation function.

+4

The address of a 512‑byte work area for the use of the exit program.

+8

The address of a 255‑byte field containing the resource name as modified by CA SAF HFS processing. This is the name that is used for validation. The exit can return a modified path name in this same field.

+12

The address of a 1023‑byte field containing the original unmodified path name.

The exit can use this exit function to make any specific modifications to the path name beyond that already performed by CA SAF HFS security processing.
