Dispatcher domain exits XDSBWT and XDSAWT
The XDSBWT and XDSAWT exit points are located before and after the operating
system wait. CICS services cannot be used in any exit program invoked from these
exit points.
The XDSBWT and XDSAWT exits can be used to control the swapping state of the
CICS address-space. It should be noted, however, that if the default state of the
address-space is non-swappable then these exits cannot be used to override this
state.
CICS uses a counter which is incremented for every SYSEVENT DONTSWAP
request and decremented for every SYSEVENT OKSWAP request down to a
minimum of 0. A SYSEVENT DONTSWAP request is issued when this counter goes
up from 0 to 1. A SYSEVENT OKSWAP request is issued when this counter goes
down from 1 to 0. In all other circumstances, the SYSEVENT is not issued.

CICS return code which will take one of the following fullword
decimal values:
