SAS/C Software: Changes and Enhancements, Release 6.50

Introduction

The remote debugger supports the use of program invocation exits for starting applications with unique startup requirements or where automatic startup is unsupported, such as CMS, CICS, or MVS batch. A program invocation exit can be written in C or assembly language and perform any processing that it needs to start the program to be debugged. For example, you might use a program invocation exit to:

build and submit JCL
initiate a CICS transaction
AUTOLOG a CMS session.

The program invocation exit can use the full SAS/C library and any other operating system services available to normal (unauthorized) SAS/C environments.
