Paul,

As far as I am aware, if the exit pointer in the RCVT is non-zero then RACF 
will invoke the exit. About 15 years ago I knocked up a quick+dirty program to 
dynamically add a RACF exit and it seemed to work OK. 

I have not seen RACFXITS - however the logic I used was something along the 
lines of :

(o) Determine length of RACF exit
(o) Grab that amount of E-CSA and assign ownership to the system (ie I want it 
to persist)
(o) Directed load of the exit module into the E-CSA chunk
(o) Store the E-CSA address into the RCVT (remembering to indicate AMODE in 
bit0)   

These days you have things like dynamic LPA - so you might be able to avoid 
most of the heavy lifting and just "zap" in the new exit address.

Subject: Missing RACF exit

***** Cross posted to RACF-L *****

Hello

I upgraded one of our systems from 1.7 to 1.9 at the weekend, and in so doing 
omitted one of the RACF exits, ICHRIX01.
The manual confirms my suspicion that exits can only be added with an IPL, 
which isn't possible until the weekend.

Does anyone have any code that can dynamically add an exit ? I spotted a 
program in an old Xephon mag called RACFXITS, does anyone have experience of 
using that? ( and can I download it instead of cutting/pasting of it ).

Thanks in advance


Paul Beesley
