This screen can be used to call a user exit program, that inserts information in the spool entry resulting from the split.

InterForm400® will call the program with a set of parameters consisting of up to either 5 or

10lines each containing a field of up to 30 positions. The amount of exit parameters depends on the format: 01 equals 5 exit parameters, 02 equals 10 exit parameters, 03 equals the 10 exit parameters as well as 300 character parameter, that contains all attributes of the original spooled file.

For additional information on return parameters look into the sample programs, SPLEXIT, SPLEXIT02 and SPLEXIT03 in the source file APISRC in library APF3812.

An example could be a customer ID which the user exit program uses to look up a fax number in a database, which is returned to InterForm400® to insert in the spool entry resulting from the split.
