APIs by Example: Profile Exit Programs (QWTSETPX/QWTRTVPX)

This installment of Carsten Flensburg’s APIs by Example features utility SetPrfExit, which shows how to use the Set Profile Exit Programs (QWTSETPX) and Retrieve Profile Exit Programs (QWTRTVPX) APIs. Profile exit programs provide a powerful way of controlling what happens when a user suspends interactive jobs by pressing Attn or System Request.
