We have an exit point on our IFS files.
When an IFS file is open, our exit pgm fires.

Now the way I understand it, is that this file is in the process of opening
and our exit pgm is part of that open process.

Our exit pgm does this...

call pgm1 (modify file contents being opened)
call pgm2 (use those modified contents)

However, we are not seeing the modified contents in pgm2.

We were thinking of the obvious solutions.
1.) after pgm 1, close() and reopen in pgm2... but this is part of the
initial file opening so close() is not allowed in this exit pgm.
2.) after pgm1, obtain a new fileID (scanDescriptor), but the original one
passed in via the exit pgm parm, is still the same. How would we get an
updated one (if one exists)?
3.) after pgm 1 is there a "commit" of some sorts we need to do, as this
IFS file is under commitment control.

Any input would be appreciated.
