RE: [U2] Universe ON.EXIT

[Glenn Herbert]

FWIW, back at rev 8.3.3 when this issue was first raised, it was decided 
that we could not change this behavior as it might affect existing 
applications already out in the field that did NOT expect the ON.EXIT to 
automatically run at close of a phantom.  The resolution on this was that 
the user can simply add QUIT as the last command in their phantom, which 
would force the ON.EXIT to run.

When this issue was again raised at 9.3.1.1, it was given as an 
'enhancement', which at that time, meant you wouldn't ever see it.  If we 
had even looked at it, we would have probably come to the same conclusion 
as earlier; we could NOT change behavior if it would have impacted existing 
applications.

I know its not an answer, but it is some history on this event.  I lived 
it! :-)

Agreed.
Knowledgebase G21418 mentioned by Clif Oliver has been open since
9/4/97, UV 9.3.
For more exposure, add this request to .www.U2UG.org > Forums >
Enhancements > New requests.
I hope over time that will become an effective way to present requests
to IBM with a united voice.
