Modifying user arguments
User exit programs can modify user arguments, as follows:
For input arguments, the user exit program should obtain sufficient storage to hold
the modified argument, set up that storage to the required value, and set the
associated pointer in the parameter list to the address of the newly acquired area.
For output arguments, and for input/output arguments, the user exit program can
update the argument in place, because the area of storage is represented by a
variable in the application which is expected to receive a value from CICS.
Notes:
1. CICS does not check changes to argument values, so any changes must be
verified by the user exit program making the changes.
2. It is not advisable for XTSEREQ to modify output arguments or for XTSEREQC
to modify input arguments.
Adding user arguments
Global user exit programs can add arguments associated with the SYSID keyword.
You must ensure that the arguments you specify or modify in your exit programs
are valid.
Assuming that the argument to be added does not already exist, the user exit
program must:
1. Obtain storage for the argument to be added
2. Initialize the storage to the required value
3. Select and set up the appropriate pointer from the parameter list
4. Select and set up the appropriate argument existence bit in the EID
5. Modify the parameter list to reflect the new end of list indicator.
Removing user arguments
User exit programs can remove arguments (for which the program is totally
responsible) associated with the SYSID keyword:
Assuming that the argument to be removed exists, the user exit program must:
1. Switch the corresponding argument existence bit to ’0’b in the EID
2. Modify the parameter list to reflect the new end of list indicator.
