z/OS Communications Server: SNA Customization
SC27-3666-00

Follow these procedures when writing this routine:
  • Use standard linkage.
  • Save registers 2–14.
Consider the following restrictions when writing this routine:
  • The name of the SDDLU exit routine module should be ISTEXCSD; however, if you have written an alternate load module, use the load module name you assigned to your replacement module.
  • Do not issue any SVCs if this exit routine is running in SRB mode.
  • This exit routine should use only conditional storage invocations. You can reduce the possibility of a VTAM® abend during a storage shortage by coding conditional storage invocations.
  • Data is addressable in 31-bit mode only. Data is always presented with 31-bit addressability.
  • This exit routine can be above or below the 16M line.
  • This exit routine must be link-edited into the appropriate library. See Installing VTAM exit routines for more information.
  • Exit routines that perform I/O must be link-edited AMODE=31 and RMODE=24.
  • This exit routine runs under a VTAM subtask that permits the exit to perform any necessary I/O or other processing without affecting the VTAM main task.
  • Do not use VTAM macroinstructions in this routine.
  • This exit routine operates enabled in pageable storage. The routine gains control in supervisor state with a VTAM storage key. Errors in the routine could damage VTAM or system control blocks or modules.
