EXITS

Purpose

The EXITS statement defines exit options to HCL Workload Automation for Z. It applies to HCL Workload Automation for Z exits whose names are prefixed with EQQUX0. You can use the EXITS statement to stop HCL Workload Automation for Z from attempting to load a particular exit. You can also use EXITS to change the default name of the load module. By default, the tracker attempts to load the EQQUX000, EQQUX004, EQQUX005, and EQQUX006 exits. By default, the controller attempts to load the EQQUX000, EQQUX001, EQQUX002, EQQUX003, EQQUX007, EQQUX009, EQQUX011, EQQUX013, EQQUX014 and EQQUXSAZ exits.

EXITS is defined in the member of the EQQPARM library as specified by the PARM parameter on the JCL EXEC statement.

Format


1  EXITS? +  CALL nn (
2.1! YES
2.1 NO
2.1 X
1 )? +  LOAD nn (
2.1!  EQQUX0 nn
2.1 module name
1 )

Parameters

CALLnn(NO|X|YES)
Specifies whether an exit should be loaded. The exit is either the HCL Workload Automation for Z exit with suffix nn, or its alternative as specified by the LOAD nn keyword. The value 'X' allows EQQUX007 to see the extended status 'X' (waiting for special resource). If you specify this value with the CALL07 statement, exit EQQUX007 is called and every time an operation changes its status, HCL Workload Automation for Z scans the chain of special resources to see if an operation is waiting for any of them. Use this feature only when strictly necessary so as not to decrease performance.

Use the CALL12 statement to disable the loading of System Automation exit EQQUXSAZ. Consider, however, that by setting CALL12(NO) you will not be able to use any System Automation functions.

LOADnn(module name|EQQUX0nn)
Specifies an alternative load module, which is called instead of the default exit named EQQUX0nn.
 EXITS CALL04(NO)        1
       LOAD00(TWS00)     2
In this example of an EXITS statement, which applies to a tracker:
1
The EQQUX004 exit is not loaded.
2
A module called TWS00 is loaded instead of exit EQQUX000.

The subsystem attempts to load exits EQQUX005 and EQQUX006 by default.
