Common Exit Parameters

This list contains common parameters passed to all exit points. Some parameter fields may not be valid at some exit points. For example, the TXA#DRC parameter field will not contain valid information for the PREINIT exit point since the security processing has not completed.

TXA#ACID

@ ACID that initiated the security event.

TXA#ACEE

@ ACEE for the ACID that initiated the security event.

TXA#DRC

@ Detailed Reason Code for this security event.

TXA#FACM

@ Facility matrix table entry for the facility under which the ACID signed on. The facility matrix table entry is mapped by the #FACMATX macro definition supplied in the CAI.OPMAT file on the product installation tape.

TXA#FEED

@ Feedback area address, if present.

TXA#FLAG

@ Flag for communication with TSSINSTX.

TXA#INSD

@ ACID installation data area (INSTDATA). The area contains a length byte and a zero separator followed by the actual data (up to 256 bytes). This field cannot be updated for TSSINSTX. Any actual change to an ACID's installation data would be accomplished through the use of the CA Top Secret Application Interface, or TSS administrative commands.

TXA#INST

@ Installation‑wide installation data field (eight‑byte). The initial contents of this field are determined by the setting for the INSTDATA() control option. This field may be overwritten through the use of the installation exit but any change will only be maintained for the life of the current TSS started task. Once TSS is restarted, TXA#INST is reset to the value specified in the INSTDAT() control option.

TXA#INSW

@ One word (four‑byte) work area that may be set and modified by the installation exit TSSINSTX. This field remains available throughout the life of the user's current session. The field is never stored permanently to the security file.

TXA#JOBN

@ Jobname that initiated the security event.

TXA#MODE

@ Mode byte for this event.

TXA#PGMS

@ Initiating programs for this event (from PRB).

TXA#SREC

@ SECREC for the ACID that initiated the security event.

TXA#SVCS

@ SVCs in control when the security event was initiated.

TXA#TERM

@ Terminal/source for the ACID initiating the security event.

TXA#TYPE

@ Generic job type field from the facility under which the ACID signed on. This value is the type= value from Facility control option definition.

TXA#@RFP

@ @RACF Parameter List.

TXA#@SFP

@ @SAF Parameter List.

TXAXLANG

@ Language indicator.
