user exit compile

Moving to S3 development/customization forum...

You compile the user exit with the -u, e.g.
qcompile –u PROD BR BR40B
User exits are only available for on-line forms, not batch programs. It sounds like you are modifying the batch program to invoke an online form. Assuming you have the user exit set up correctly, the online form will invoke the user exit--you don't need to add a perform statement.

Hi John, yes you are correct. I couldn't get the user exit to compile LPVACATION so I ended up adding my code to the LPCUSTOMPD library. Thank you so much for your response.

As John mentioned, the user exits (Begin, Middle and End) only apply to on-line programs.

The execeptions are some library files (also called User exits) like LPCUSTOMPD, PRUEDED, BNUX70PD etc. that allow you to insert custom logic to calculate accruals, deductions etc. These libs are called by LP140, PR140, BN102 etc.
if whatever you are doing cannot be accomodated in one of these, you probably need to insert custom code in LP140PD or wherever appropriate.

Ragu and John,
Yes, I ended up adding my custom logic to LPCUSTOMPD 3000-USER-EXIT routine like suggested. Your help is greatly appreciated!
