Interface to the exit
The daily-planning-report exit is invoked in task mode, problem state, and key 8 and the job-step task is APF-authorized. The active task runs with the same access authority as the job-step task. The exit must restore this state before returning to its caller.
Control is passed to the exit using the BAL instruction. The exit must return to its caller using the address and addressing mode passed to it in general register 14.
The exit is entered in AMODE 31 but must switch to AMODE 24 before performing any input or output operations, and then switch back to AMODE 31 before returning to the caller.
If the exit abends, it is flagged as not executable; Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS does not try to call the exit again.
When the exit is entered, register 1 contains the address of the parameter list. Each address in this list is used to locate the parameter value. These parameters are passed to the exit:
REPTYPE DC H (Report type) REPLINE DC CL127 (Line of report) LINETYPE DC H (Type of line) WSNAME DC CL4 (Name of WS (if REPTYPE=3)) LINEBACK DC CL127 (Line to insert from exit) ACTION DC H (Action for line)
