If a processing program retrieves records sequentially with a request defined by a chain of RPLs, the EODAD routine must determine whether the end of the data set was reached for the first RPL in the chain. If not, then one or more records have been retrieved but not yet processed by the processing program.

The type of data set whose end was reached can be determined by examining the RPL for the address of the access method control block that connects the program to the data set and testing its attribute characteristics.

If the exit routine issues GENCB, MODCB, SHOWCB, or TESTCB and returns to VSAM, it must provide a save area and restore registers 13 and 14, which are used by these macros.

When your EODAD routine completes processing, return to your main program as described in Return to a Main Program.
