As those of you following my IEFU8x thread know, I've just taken over
responsibility for some IEFU8x code. It needs some serious re-writing and
while I've got a lot of 360 to Z experience, this is my first SMF exit, so
I'd like to tap the collective wisdom of the group.
- What's the best way for the IEFU8x code to "find" its companion non-exit
code? In the current code the non-exit module defines itself as a subsystem,
anchors a table in SSCTSUSE, and then the IEFU83 exit scans the SSCT to find
it by name. Is this recommended, or is there a better way?
Not a big SMF exit expert , but would suggest the NAMET/TOKEN services
- What's the best way to parametize an IEFU8x exit? The existing code has a
customization utility named AMASPZAP<g>. I obviously can't read a parameter
file. It can't get the information from the SSCT technique described above
because the sub-system name is one of the things that needs to be
parametized. What do people recommend?
- What's the best way for the IEFU8x code to pass messages to its companion
non-exit code? The current code uses GETMAIN SP=241, CS, and an x-memory
POST. It looks pretty good to me but is there a more recommended way?
What do you mean about the "companion non-exit code " ?
Thanks all. Note this code is all working so I don't need advice on getting
any of the above-mentioned techniques to work (although pointing out very
subtle gotchas is always helpful). I really want to know the best way to
accomplish these things, big picture.
