The input data user-exit program

The InfoPrint Manager input data user-exit program can be used to:

  • Monitor the incoming print data stream to InfoPrint Manager
  • Discard an input record before it is processed
  • Replace an existing input record with one or more records (which might include the original record or a modified version of the original record)
  • Continue processing with the input record unchanged
This exit can be called for all parts of the job (see Sequence of user-exit programs for InfoPrint Manager).
Note: The input data user-exit program only processes MO:DCA data.

If you are using the exit to insert extra input records, the original input record that is passed to the exit can be processed before or after the extra input records. This means that the extra input records can be inserted before or after the current structured field depending on where the current structured field is placed in the list of structured fields
