Troubleshooting
Problem
This document provides an example of a program for Exit Point QIBM_QCA_RTV_COMMAND.
Resolving The Problem
A change command exit point (QIBM_QCA_CHG_COMMAND) and a retrieve command exit point (QIBM_QCA_RTV_COMMAND) were provided to allow customers and business partners to register their own exit programs that would be called when a CL command is used. In most cases, the change command exit point allows the command to be changed if it is not library-qualified or is library-qualified with *LIBL, *NLVLIBL, or *SYSTEM. Exit programs registered at either of these new exit points will be called before the command's CPP is given control.
Below is an example of an Exit Point Program that you can add to the QIBM_QCA_RTV_COMMAND exit point.
Examples can also be viewed in the following Redpaper: Best Practices for Managing IBM i Jobs and Output (and a few other special tips).

SMBJOB exit program
Run-away usage of the SMBJOB command can consume large numbers of job table entries. You can register and run a SBMJOB command exit program to avoid loops that use up job table entries. Example 2 provides sample code of the exit program. We provide this code as is.
