How to identify if PDSMAN user exits are in-use

Products

• PDSMAN

Issue/Introduction

How can we discover if the user exits are currently active in PDSMAN

Environment

Release : 7.7

Component : PDSMAN for OS/390

Resolution

In the PDSM STC you will see the following messages telling you if the PDSM018U and the PDSM021U are active or inactive:

sample

PDSM00-55  EXIT PDSM018U NOT ACTIVE 
PDSM00-55  EXIT PDSM021U NOT ACTIVE 

These can also be seen using the F PDSMAN,STATUS   command from the console.

These exits are used in batch mode for Librarian. However, they can be used for other user functions if necessary.

PDSM12EX is only used when using PDSM12 migration functionality with Librarian

PDSMUSR2 is only for Librarian and Panvalet, called by PDSM28 and PDSM15

PDSMUSR2 is invoked by any user with a $COMPILER reference. Unfortunately, no messages are issued at startup.

Recommend checking the code in the old loadlib for the assembly date.

Base sample stub has this in release 7.7. Look at module PDSMUSR2.
