Exit Programs

[DougCMH]

Can someone please direct me to some documentation on how to write IBM i exit programs - in particular, an SEU exit program?

I can't seem to find documentation anywhere, and I'm getting frustrated.

(And it would be nice if this forum had a search function!)

The key is to find which exit point you will be using. I'm guessing you want to use exit point QIBM_QSU_LCMD. - the challenge is that this was covered in the SEU documentation. IBM has dropped support for SEU many many many many moons ago and the documentation is scarce.

Jeff Olen published an example (one of a number out there) back in 2003 (https://www.mcpressonline.com/progra...-line-commands)

Funny that even there he talks to the idea that SEU is old hat!

It would be hard to find someone who still use SEU. WebSphere Development Studio Client for iSeries use to have the option to load Code 400 which was part of the Websphere Development Studio Client for iSeries or LPEX. The CODE 400 is no longer available. Here is a link: http://www.rpgpgm.com/2017/01/using-...-free-rpg.html but don't know if it will help you?

The exit points for SEU were added prior to the withdrawal of enhancements for SEU (the last enhancement to SEU was 10+ years ago). They were added because we knew we were going to freeze SEU but wanted to allow third parties (or end users) to add limited functionality if wanted/needed.

WDSC would be a better bet than Code/400 for those who won't pay for RDi. There are also other alternatives like ILEditor and miWorkplace.

Chronologically it goes SEU -> Code/400 -> WDSC -> RDi
