File-AID/MVS exits

File-AID is shipped with sample exits. The sample exits are functionally inert unless you modify them. If you modify the Audit Trail Exit after installation, you need to compile and relink it using the appropriate JCL (see Sample Audit Exits and JCL).

Important

All exits must be compiled and linked with AMODE(31),RMODE(24).

File-AID allows exits written in COBOL, PL/I, and Assembler in compilers that are covered by BMC’s support policy. It is highly recommended that all exits be written in compilers and assemblers that are currently supported by their suppliers.

Security and I/O exits are not automatically linked at installation time. Use the appropriate JCL listed in Sample Security Exits and JCL or Sample I/O Exits and JCL to install these File-AID user exits.

If you intend to use your own I/O, Security, and/or Audit exit with File-AID/Eclipse, make sure they are included in the customized hlq.CXVJLOAD load library.

Important

Exit routines must be assembled or compiled and then link-edited to a library in the system search order (that is, a library searched when the load macro is issued).
