Re: Exit programs...

Sudheer,

From an OS/400 point of view, an exit point is anywhere an OS/400 program
or service program may call (or transfer control) to a user written or user
specified program or function.  An exit program is the program that is
called at an exit point.  All exit points have some type of registration
mechanism. One of the most obvious registration mechanism is the exit
program Registration Facility.  See the System API Reference for
information about the APIs that make up the Registration Facility.  The
System API Reference also provides documentation of parameters passed to
most of the exit programs that use the Registration Facility.  Business
partners are allowed to create their own "exit points" in their own
products.  The WRKREGINF CL command can be used to determine what exit
programs are registered to various exit points.

Examples of exit programs that are not registered through the Registration
Facility are data base trigger programs, command prompt override programs,
and message queue break handling programs.
