When MFX is initiated from an ATTACH, LINK or XCTL macro, there are two ways to include an E35 exit routine: (1) code the E35 exit routine in line with the invoking program and specify the address of its entry point in the appropriate entry of the calling program’s parameter list; or (2) define the separately compiled routine in the MODS control statement. When the exit routine is coded in line with the invoking program, it must handle all output processing; MFX will ignore a SORTOUT DD statement and an OUTFIL control statement, if present.
