Re: Installation Exit routine environment (TCB vs. SRB)
I agree. Some of the exits are documented as TCB only; some as SRB or TCB. Some are documented as Primary; some as Primary or AR. There is no generic statement "if not specified otherwise, TCB and Primary." I suspect all of the pre-whenever-ARs-came-along are Primary only. It would be nice to say that. When did SRBs come along? When dinosaurs roamed the earth?

The exit vendor is of course IBM. Unless you mean me.
