Perform additional actions for processed entries.
Review the messages generated by processed entries.
Retry processed entries.
Force termination of subsequent processing.

Information about processed control group entries is provided to the exit program in a user space. The specified exit program must be capable of receiving the required parameter group and retrieve the entry information provided in the user space. The exit program is called after an entry or group of entries is processed by the control group.

Messages generated while processing control group entries can be received by the exit program using the starting message key and ending message key fields provided in the entry information.

The exit program returns control information which indicates whether:

subsequent calls to the exit program are ended.
processing should continue with the next subsequent entry in the control group.
whether the current entry is processed again.
control group operations are ended and how operations are to end.

The control group will terminate abnormally if the exit program returns an exception or invalid values for the control information.
