*Assembler exits remediation* JES2 is enhanced with a new infrastructure designed to allow customization of JES2 with less of a requirement to code assembler exits. The new approach allows the specification of policies that take actions at various points in processing based on conditions being met. For example, set the job's system affinity based on a program that is specified in the JCL. These policies are release-independent, which helps simplify upgrade to new releases. This release provides the infrastructure for policies with support for basic conditions and actions. The existing exit infrastructure is being augmented by the new policies, not replaced. *SMFLIMxx assembler exits support* In z/OS V2.4, SMF enhances existing support by allowing greater customization and filtering to reduce the need for coding tailored assembler exits. In particular, new support adds additional filters for SAF checking, overriding JCL specifications of REGION and MEMLIMIT, as well as the ability to control dataspaces and control over messages that are generated. -- A sine curve goes off to infinity, or at least the end of the blackboard. -- Prof. Steiner Maranatha! <>< John McKown
