RE: Exit point

[Jim Knight <jknight@xxxxxxx>]

We have the same problem with users creating runaway jobs by
just clicking the 'x' in a Rumba session.  We were looking at 
possibly the same thing.  I wonder if you can do something with the
QIBM_QTG_DEVTERM exit point?

Subject: Exit point


     the situation:
      we have a file that is created in QTEMP when a user logs in.  the 
     file is populated by different programs.  within each of those 
     programs, the contents of the QTEMP file are then processed either 
     when the user presses enter or F3, depending on the application. after 
     a record is processed, it is then deleted from the QTEMP file.(the 
     process will be undergoing a major re-write, but that is a good year 
     or so away)
     
     the problem:
      if the user's PC loses power, the user clicks on the X to close the 
     emulator program or whatever, then the records in their QTEMP file do 
     not get processed.  this causes a major problems elsewhere.
     
     my proposed resolution:
      as the session is being disconnected from the 400, check the QTEMP 
     file to see if there are any records in it, if so, then call the 
     program to process those records and then allow the session to finish 
     the disconnect process - or some variation thereof.  maybe copy the 
     file contents to a dataq, and process from there, whatever.
     
     my question: 
      is there an exit point during session disconnect, whether that 
     disconnect is started by the user using an end session command, an 
     operator using an endjob command, or the system ending the session 
     because it has been idle too long (in the case of a power loss to the 
     PC or the user improperly closing their emulator), that i can use to 
     run an exit program to accomplish my resolution?  if so, what is the 
     name?  i've done some research but have come up empty handed so far.
     
     any suggestions on redbooks or manuals would also be appreciated as  
     this will be my first attempt at using exit programs/points.
     
     thanks
