Juergen When Conrad first posted, I noted it was a VTAM topic so I checked the Communications Server SNA Customization manual.
> why is it not allowed to use WTOs in DSME-Exit? You will find the following line in the "Design requirements" section for each exit: <quote> Do not issue any SVCs if this exit routine is running in SRB mode. </quote> Well, now, the question now arises as to whether or not the exit runs in SRB mode, does it not? It turns out that only the USERVAR - most of the time - and DSME exits are documented as running in SRB mode. Thus Conrad has done his "due diligence" with respect to the DSME exit. > We bought an exit from IBM and it uses WTOs. If this is an USERVAR exit or a DSME exit, you have bought defective goods. Perhaps you can reclaim from your credit card company! > So it (WTO) can be used. Not officially if the exit you acquired is the USERVAR exit or the DSME exit. - Actually, long ago when I had my education systems with which to play, I wrote up all of the VTAM exits which existed at the time. Mostly what I did was extract the information which is presented to the exits. Initially I used WTO but that was such a mess on the console that I changed all the WTOs to WTLs ("write to log" - is that an official macro or did I just create one wrapped around the SVC?). I believe I must have indulged in this exercise before the DSME exit was available and so I can't comment on whether or not it might work - but unofficially - and certainly not in a *production* system - if you want to be supported ...
