The appendix describes the four user exits provided with ACIF and

information

ACIF provides to

the

exits

about

the

attributes of the

User Programming Exits

ACIF provides four programming exits, so that an installation can customi program. The exits are optional, and the names of the modules that are specified in the processing parameter file.

ACIF provides the following four exits:

ŸInput record

ŸIndex record

ŸOutput record

ŸResource

Input Record Exit

ACIF provides an exit that allows you to add, delete, or modify re file. You can also use the exit to insert indexing information. The at this exit is definedINPEXITin theparameterACIF .

This

exit is

called after

each

record

is read from the input file

request

that

the

record be

discarded,

processed,

or processed

wi

to the

exit

for

the next

input

record.

bytes.

ACIF

doesnot call

this

exit when

ACIF

is processing

resource

libraries.

In a MO:DCA-P document, indexing information can be passed in the form Logical Element (TLE) structured field. For more information about the T structured field, see 36. The exit program creates these structure is processing the print file. This is an alternative to modifying the cases where the indexing information is not consistently present in th output.

Note:

TLEs

are

not supported in line-mode

or mixed-mode data.

for

program.
