Hi Shimon,

I looked up HCPXCTBK in the z/VM 5.4 Data Areas and Control Blocks at:

http://www.vm.ibm.com/pubs/cp540/XCTBK.HTML

Here is the prologue to the control block:

 Name       : HCPXCTBK
 Description: CP Exit Control Block
 DSECT      : XCTBK
 Function   : This control block contains information used to
              control the structure of XITBKs.
 Located by : SYSCM.SYSEXITS
 Created by : HCPZXUIN
 Deleted by : none

Since this refers to XITBK, the prologue for it is:

 Name       : HCPXITBK
 Description: CP Exit Block
 DSECT      : XITBK
 Function   : This control block contains information used to
              authorize user exit routines to find their entry
              points.
 Located by : Radix tTree structure anchored by XCTBK.XCTRADIX.
 Created by : HCPZXUAD
 Deleted by : HCPZXUDL    (The deletion is only allowed if the XITBK
              is for a Dynamic Exit that is NOT enabled
              and is NOT associated at delete time)

and can be found at:

All of the fields in these control blocks are documented at the referenced
URLs.

  Subject:    COPY HCPXCTBK                                            
                                                                       





I have a CP exit which has run for years, and I see
in the code that I put a COPY HCPXCTBK statement.

I can find no reference anywhere to why I should need
this line (except that it appears once in a sample).

Does anyone else have it? May I ask what for?
Can I leave it out?

Thanks!
Shimon
