This section describes output exit processing including:

  • Data passed to the exit routine on a call
  • Processing after the exit routine returns control to the Finalist IMS program

The steps for a call to an output exit point are:

  1. You must process the desired address on the address lookup screen before actually executing the exit program. This includes a coding attempt through Finalist. A coding attempt is defined as an address displays on the address lookup screen, and the Enter key is pressed or the input exit routine returns an address and a return code of "00". The coding attempt builds the Finalist CALLAREA. This CALLAREA is part of the SPAAREA passed to the exit routine.
  2. Press the PF8 key to execute the output exit routine.
  3. The Finalist IMS system calls to the LPWNEX2 exit program and passes the WNDWS-EXIT-PASS-AREA described earlier.
  4. The LPWNEX2 program returns control to the On-Line Windows programs.
  5. A message displays the exit return code on the address lookup screen.
  6. The Address Lookup Screen displays with the original address and ADDR key data field left intact.
