The exits must follow standard linkage conventions. They must save the registers on entry and restore the registers when they return. The exit must be reentrant, refreshable, reusable, and reside in an APF-authorized library. It is inadvisable for the exit to have APF authorization unless it is designed also to be called as the entry point for a job step program. The exits can use any of the TSO/E service routines. For a description of the service routines, see . In some cases, you may not need to write a termination exit. This
depends on:
If the initialization exit obtains a system resource, you must write a termination exit to free the resource. For example, if the initialization exit obtains storage to return a new command buffer to the PARMLIB command processor, you must provide a termination exit to free the storage. If the initialization exit obtains storage, for example, for a new command buffer, it must obtain the storage from subpool 1. The initialization exit can change PARMLIB operands using the command
buffer. The exit checks the command buffer it receives and determines
whether to change any operands. To change the operands, the exit must:
