Title: 9.5.0.5 Rollup --- Significant Changes to Exits
Post by: Ed_Arnold on August 29, 2016, 07:36:53 AM

As shops prepare to cross the 9.5.0.5 boundary, increased awareness of the changes to exits needs to be advertised.

In short, some exits will need to be updated to work with CMOD 9.5.0.5 and above.

APAR PI56881 is the 9.5.0.5 rollout.

Details on the exits affected are in this doc:

While this looks very, very z/OS specific, are there any corresponding changes on the Multiplatforms side?

No, it's a z only thing.

Note:  The PTF for 9.5.0.5 is UI36345.

There is no mention of an ACTION hold for the exit changes required in the text of the PTF.

Yes, that slipped through the cracks.  No excuses.

Hi Ed,

this means that the enhanced error handling is not available for multiplatform in general??

I, personally, am not aware that it is. 

However, if the answer affects future plans then I suggest a PMR to the team in question and let them definitively answer.
