z/OS Cryptographic Services ICSF System Programmer's Guide

All mainline exits receive the address of an exit parameter block (EXPB) passed in register 0. Each exit receives the address of an address list passed in register 1. Each address in the list points to a parameter.

Figure 7 illustrates the contents of register 0 and EXPB for the mainline exits.

Both the mainline exits and the services exits receive the address of EXPB in register 0. Some of the fields in EXPB are used only by the service exits and are reserved fields for the mainline exits.

The Exit Parameter Block

Table 9 describes the contents of the exit parameter block.

Table 9. EXPB Control Block Format for Mainline Exits
Offset (Dec)Number of BytesDescription
04Name.

The name of the control block. This field contains the character string EXPB.

42Version.

The version of the control block. This field contains the character string 01.

62Length.

The length of the control block. The value of this field is 40 in decimal.

84Dynamic area address.

The address of a 400-byte area that the exit can use as a dynamic area.

124Exit area address.

The address of an 8-byte area the exits can use to communicate with each other. ICSF does not check or change this field.

164Exit communication area.

A character string that can be used for communication between the exits. The field is initialized to zero before CSFEXIT1 is called, and ICSF does not modify this field.

204Flags.

Reserved. The flag field is used only by the exits for the services. The field contains binary zeros for the mainline exits.

244Secondary parameter block (SPB) address.

Reserved. The SPB is used only by the exits for the services. The field contains binary zeros for the mainline exits.

284CCVT address.

Address of the Cryptographic Communication Vector Table (CCVT). The Cryptographic Communication Vector Table (CCVT) describes the CCVT in greater detail.

328Module name.

The installation exit's load module name. The field contains the value of the load module name you specified on the EXIT keyword in the installation options data set. The field is 8 bytes of characters, and the value is left-justified and padded with blanks.

Parameters

All mainline exits receive an address list that uses standard entry linkage. Register 1 points to the address list. Each address in the list points to a parameter. Tables in the next four topics describe the parameters for each of the mainline exits.

CSFEXIT1

This table describes the parameters for CSFEXIT1:

Table 10. CSFEXIT1 Parameters
ParameterNumber of BytesDescription
18The data set name (DDNAME) of the installation options data set.
2VariableThe command input block for the START command. The command control block is mapped by IEZCIB.

When ICSF calls this, the Cryptographic Communication Vector Table exists, but the table is not yet complete.

CSFEXIT2 and CSFEXIT3

Both CSFEXIT2 and CSFEXIT3 receive the same parameters. Table 11 describes these parameters.

Table 11. CSFEXIT2 and CSFEXIT3 Parameters
ParameterNumber of BytesDescription
144A character string that is the CKDS name specified in the CKDSN installation option.
24A decimal value that is the maximum length permitted for data passed to services specified in the MAXLEN installation option.

Beginning with z/OS V1 R2, the MAXLEN parameter may still be specified in the options data set, but only the maximum value limit will be enforced (2147483647). If a value greater than this is specified, an error will result and ICSF will not start.

34ICSF environmental options.
Note:
Do not change bits 2, 4, and 5.

Byte 1:

Bit
Meaning When Set On
0
Special secure mode allowed.
1
Special secure mode enabled.
2
Reserved and must be zero.
3
Key authentication required.
4
The hardware has gone from active to inactive.
5
First start of ICSF during this IPL.
6
Security Sever (RACF) checking required for authorized callers.
7
PCF coexistence.

Bytes 2-4: Reserved

44Address of the exit name table. Table 13 describes the exit name table.
CSFEXIT4 and CSFEXIT5

Both CSFEXIT4 and CSFEXIT5 receive the same parameters. Table 12 describes these parameters.

Table 12. CSFEXIT4 and CSFEXIT5 Parameters
ParameterNumber of BytesDescription
144A character string that is the CKDS name specified in the CKDSN installation option.
24A decimal value that is the maximum length permitted for data passed to services specified in the MAXLEN installation option.

Beginning with z/OS V1 R2, the MAXLEN parameter may still be specified in the options data set, but only the maximum value limit will be enforced (2147483647). If a value greater than this is specified, an error will result and ICSF will not start.

Bytes 2-4: Reserved

44Address of the exit name table. Table 13 describes the exit name table.
5VariableThe command input block. You can use the IEZCIB mapping macro to map the control block.
The Exit Name Table

The exit name table contains a list of all of the exits and their load module names. Table 13 describes the format of the exit name table.

Table 13. Format of the Exit Name Table
Offset (Dec)Number of BytesDescription
04Exit name table ID. The value is always the character string ENT.
42Exit name table version. The value is always the character string 01.
62Length of the exit name table. This value is in decimal.
84Number of entries in the array which is the number of exits ICSF supplies. This value is in decimal.
124Subpool that the exit name table is in.
164Reserved.
204Reserved.
244Reserved.
284Reserved.
328ICSF exit name 1. This value is a character string.
408Installation load module name 1. This value is a character string.
484Flags.

Byte 1:

Bit
Meaning When Set On
0
