IBM Safenet/400 manual Customer Exit Programs

Customer Exit Programs

If you would like to use your own programs over these server exit points, F18 on the Maintain Server Security screen gives you the ability to do so.

SafeNet/400 will look to see if there is a customer-written program to call. If there is, it calls the program, passing two parameters, a one-byte status code, plus the rest of the data string from the client. The customer exit program is always processed BEFORE the SafeNet/400 checks are done.

Your custom exit program can do whatever you want. When it returns to SafeNet/400, if the status code has been changed to indicate any type of rejection, SafeNet/400 stops and logs the request, and returns a rejection to the client.

If the exit program does not change the status code, the request will go through the normal SafeNet/400 checking process.

The string that is passed is limited to 4,000 characters, as defined by IBM. Examples of these strings can be found in the TRAPOD file and the appropriate IBM manuals.
