Hi
I am learning IPCS and formating a control block using the model in IPCS. I wrote a model using BLSQMDEF and BLSQMFLD, and compiled linkedited it. The command CBF xxx MODEL(MODyyy) works fine. Most of fields look good and readable. However some fields are a double word STCK timestamp and some fields are a double word which contains elapsed time in units of 16 microsecond. I'd like format it nicely in HH:MM:SS.nnnnn format. I have no problem with formatting if it is normal batch assembler program. Questions I have; Is it possible to format it using the model only? I searched the archive and found Bob Wright's response to a similar question (dated Jul 13, 2006), however it shows how to format flags using an additional model definition. If I have to write an exit, does anyone have a sample which I can use? It doesn't need to be formatting timestamp. If it shows the structure of the exit program, I guess I can insert my codes to format the fields. Without fully understanding the exit, I wrote the exit and invoked it using CBF xxx FORMAT(pgmexit). But it failed with a program check. No surprise. I just wanted to see if the exit gets invoked. Did I invoke it correctly? Can I format only the fields I want using the exit and leave most of fields to the model definition? Should I use CBF xxx FORMAT(pgmexit) MODEL(MODyyy) to invoke both the exit and the model? Please help me. Thanks in advance.
