ACF2 ACF2 - MISC ACF2 - z/OS

Issue/Introduction

CICS/ACF2 parm has 'EXIT PROGRAM=ACFAESXC' and ACFAESXC has been assembled from the ACF2 sample library with no local modifications to the code.

Can this be safely changed from:

EXIT PROGRAM=ACFAESXC

to    

EXIT PROGRAM=NO

 

Environment

Component : ACF2 for z/OS

Resolution

The ACF2 CICS interface provides this program (ACFAESXC) as a sample; you may elect to modify the program, create your own program, or not use any exit processing. 

If no ACF2/CICS exits are used, then there is no need to assemble, and link the sample exit, just specify PROGRAM=NO in the ACF2PARM EXIT parameter.

Note:

Verify whether or not any exit points are actually active.
Get a listing of the acf2parms for this CICS region (or list C(CIC) exit records).

If all entries are set to NO then EXIT PROGRAM=NO can be processed.
If any exit entries are YES - further review is needed to verify if the exit program=ACFAESXC is needed.

The default values are "no" for all exits (see CAX1MAC1(ACFPARM))
