Freeware: Assembler - MPF Exits

MPF Exits to automate and enhance your OS/390 (MVS) system. These are the MPF exits that I use at my shop:

DAMPF01.TXT - Append the current date to the message passed
DAMPF02.TXT - Answer WTOR with "W"
DAMPF03.TXT - Makes message IEF450I IEF451I IEF452I and IEF453I desc=2 for production jobs. this prevents 'job abend' and 'jcl error' messages from rolling off the console for production jobs.
DAMPF04.TXT - Reply "M" to IEC709I

DAMPF05.TXT - Suppress WTO from JES2 JOB LOG - It will still go to the SYSLOG
DAMPF06.TXT - Answer "U" to a WTOR
DAMPF07.TXT - Answer "BYPASS" to a WTOR
DAMPF08.TXT - Notify user in real time of a critical WTO message from a batch job that he submitted.

Use this MPF exit to get the CA-MIM-like notification of enqueue problems by batch jobs you submit.
DAMPF09.TXT - Put a message in the JOB LOG when message CSV019I is for an ABENDAID module.
DAMPF10.TXT - Send message to TSO user for a WTO that's from something hanging up his session like IEF244I (allocation message w/WTOR)

You will need to verify the code in these MPF exits before installing them on your system.

3 of the MPF exits use Enter and Exit housekeeping macros: DA#ENTER and DA#LEAVE. Either obtain them from:

File 311 on the CBT tape version 418 or higher in the DASRC member
DASRC.ZIP

or replace with your favorite macro that does this or with straight assembler. DAMPF08 is a newer MPF exit that uses ESA housekeeping entry and exit assembler code (no macro) that you could insert into the ones that use the macro.

Other MPF exits and code

Check out Gilbert Saint-flour's web page. Take the GSF Tools link there to his MVS freeware collection. He has a nice MPF exit called IEC149I that prints the tape dataset name when you get a S813-04 or S237-08 ABEND.
See this post on passing fields that was on IBM-Main.
Of course, you will need to check out the http://www.cbttape.org (CBT Tape)
