I had the same question on the CNZ_WTOMDBEXIT work area. There they say you cannot store information from one invocation to another, but not to leave anything sensitive behind. IIRC.
I assumed (yes, I know) that it was effectively "private" to the invoked exit instance (either serialized or a unique member of a set) and so far the code has not crashed or shown evidence of a collision.

I.e. is this area unique for each invocation of IEFU86, or unique for each individual record, or "global". I'm wondering if I can put something in it on one invocation of IEFU86 and access it in a different invocation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
