    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    When an exit is written using the C Systems Programming
    Environment, each time it is invoked it LOADs the CEEEV003
    module. If this module is in the LPA (as is recommended
    by IBM), then the z/OS LOAD call can take considerably
    longer to locate the module. Since the module is also
    DELETEd after each invocation, the more expensive LOAD
    operation is repeatedly performed. This additional cost
    may significantly add to the overhead of invoking exits.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Processing has been amended to pre-load the CEEEV003 module
    for each MQ dispatcher TCB at startup. This can result in a
    considerable improvement for LOAD times when using SPC exits
    when the CEEEV003 module is located in the LPA.
