Parameter descriptions for the OPERATOR SEND exits

All of the OPERATOR SEND exits receive the address of the standard exit parameter list. For a description of this parameter list, see TSO/E standard exit parameter list. However, no data is passed for the following parameter entries:

Parameter entry 3 - user profile table (UPT)
Parameter entry 4 - environmental control table (ECT)
Parameter entry 5 - protected step control block (PSCB)

For these three parameter entries, the key, length, and data fields are:

Key: X'00'
Length: X'04'
Data: X'00'

Parameter entry 1 contains the address of the command buffer. Figure 1 shows the format of the command buffer, however, the command buffer for the SEND subcommand of the OPERATOR command is different. As Figure 1 illustrates, the command buffer contains a four-byte header field followed by a text field that contains the command and operands the user specified. The command buffer for the SEND subcommand of the OPERATOR commanddoes not contain the four-byte header field. It contains only the text field. In addition, the text field contains only the operands the user specified on the OPERATOR SEND subcommand. It does not contain the subcommand.

The following topics describe the exit-dependent data that each OPERATOR SEND exit receives.
