USREXIT2 User Exit

Use the USEREXIT2 user exit to customize CA VM:Tape security checking or bypass it altogether. This exit is called for all specific scratch and non-scratch (library) mounts. It can accept the mount and request that CA VM:Tape perform its security validation, bypass its security validation or cancel the mount request. The exit can also audit all specific scratch and library mounts by creating an accounting record using Diagnose X’4C’.

The exit must be written in assembler and should be reusable each time it is called. Do not modify the fields passed to the exit.

This exit is not called if the user is authorized to mount the volser using a rule in CA VM:Secure.

If this exit is used to cut accounting records as a form of auditing, the CA VM:Tape user ID must have an ACCT statement in its directory entry.
