Using a COBOL II user exit

When you use a COBOL II user exit with POINTER CHECKER PLUS (PCP), PCP calls the exit as a subroutine.

PCP does not set up a COBOL II environment. For more information on user exits, refer to the IBM COBOL II manuals and any APARs documentation that addresses this subject.

You may receive positive results by using NORES, NORENT, and NODYNAM as compile options. You may also need to reassemble the macro IGZEOPT with RTEREUS =YES and STAE=NO.

If your current COBOL II library has IGZEOPT assembled with RTEREUS=NO or STAE=YES, you may want to link your new version of this module to another library. Include this module in the link of your user exit. You may need to include the following COBOL modules in the link-edit of your COBOL II user exit:

  • IGZENRI
  • ILBOSRT
  • ILBOCOM
  • ILBOSRV
  • IGZEOPT (with RTEREUS=YES and STAE=NO)

See your IBM COBOL II manuals for an explanation of the functions of these modules.
