HELP: Post-processing exit for customer implementation TYPE: OBJECT SYNTAX: EXIT(LIBRARY='str',FUNCTION='str',PARAMETER='str')
This object can be used to call a customer exit for column post- processing. You can set the filename of the library (libfcpe) which implements the different column processing functions. On mainframe systems, the library name can be an empty string to fetch load modules from the STEPLIB concatenation.
Beside library and function name you must provide function-specific parameters. Please refer to the corresponding FCPE documentation to find out how these strings are to be specified.
To write your own FLAM column processing exit (FCPE), you must implement the interface specified in 'FCPE.h' header file. It is independent of the platform and programming language. You must simply provide a DLL/SO or load module which implements one main entry. The interface specifies an open, run and close function. The parameter string is given to the open function, which returns a handle. The run function uses the handle to transform input data to the output data and the close function can be used to release resources allocated by the handle. The interface specification can be found under the link below:
https://flam.de/ftp/FL5/doxygen/FCPE/The processing component, which drives this exit, has limited (only the CCSID) possibilities to give attributes about the data to the exit. Your exit must fit with the data provided as input. On output all the data attributes except the CCSID are unknown and you must define the complete data representation for the next processor or the formatting component.
This exit can be used to implement several validation, tokenization, anonymization or masking services. To be PCIDSS compliant, it can be used for individual column encryption or to build summaries over the column data.
