Wow lots of good stuff here. I will look into all of this.
I used what I did ONLY because I was mimicking another A type record because
I didn't know exactly how to use it.
Thanks

We did not know you could call a program from a S-type dictionary! How
long has it been there?
I first used universe 21 years ago and the user exit support was in there
then. I imagine that it was in there from

I'm not use to making these.
I based what I was doing on another A type which also called a Subroutine.
My A Type record;
SB.SVCED DICT ADFILA RNS.CB.MAS
10 lines long.

Did you compile the program before cataloging it?
What command did you use to catalog it?
I always like to take a look at the output from the CATALOG command to
verify it was done properly.

Curious why you are doing this as a user exit?
iirc, there are differences between using an A and an Itype. In an itype, the
subroutine is called just once for each item in the file. With an A-type, the
subroutine is going to be called once for each value/subvalue in the attribute
referenced by

We went through months of work to be able to use I-types to be able to call
subroutines, and to get accurate arithmetic.
Test shows arithmetic has been fixed. We talked to U2 people
