Using ICSF exits to meet special needs

Exits are programs that your system programmer writes to meet your installation's particular needs. These exits (and installation-defined callable services) perform tasks such as tailoring, monitoring, changing, or diagnosing ICSF. Use of such interfaces can create dependencies on the detailed design or implementation of ICSF. For this reason, use installation exits only for these specialized purposes.

ICSF exits include:

Exits called when an operator command starts, stops, or changes ICSF
An exit for each of the callable services
Exits that are called when you access the disk copy of the CKDS
An exit that is called when an application accesses the in-storage CKDS

For more information about ICSF exits, refer to 'Installation Exits' in z/OS Cryptographic Services ICSF System Programmer's Guide.
