Follow these procedures when writing this routine:
- Use standard linkage.
- Save and restore registers 2–14.
Consider the following restrictions when writing this routine:
- The name of the virtual route pacing window size calculation exit
routine module must be ISTPUCWC.
- 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.
- All data is addressable in 24-bit mode only.
- This exit routine must be link-edited into the appropriate library.
See Installing VTAM exit routines for more information.
- This exit routine operates as an internal VTAM subroutine. VTAM performance
might be degraded if the routine requires lengthy processing time.
While this routine has control, VTAM does
not process any new operator requests, session initiation requests,
or session termination requests for any resource.
- System waits, including implied waits for I/O operations, should
be avoided. System waits can cause VTAM failure
in some timing-dependent situations.
- This exit routine operates enabled in pageable storage. The routine
gains control in supervisor state with a VTAM storage key. Errors within the routine
could damage VTAM or system
control blocks and modules.
