Re: iASP causing commands to fail

[Dan <dan27649@xxxxxxxxx>]

I really like the idea of using a command exit point program, especially
considering we have hundreds of programs using commands that will require
some indication of iASP.  CPYTOSTMF, CPYSPLF, etc.

I've been searching for the past hour for an exit point to use on CPYTOSTMF
with no luck.  WRKREGINF EXITPNT(*ALL) OUTPUT(*PRINT) doesn't show anything
related to this, as far as I can see.  Is there an exit point for more
generic use, such as for any command that uses the
/QSYS.LIB/ABC.LIB/XYZ.FILE/XYZ.MBR convention?  (Is this known as type PATH
NAME?)

Rob, it sounds like you're already doing this.  Did you have to "roll your
own" exit points to do it?
