Create a user access method program written in Assembler, C, or PL/I to process data in a data map.
Call the user access method program by defining a data map with the USER access method and specifying the attributes of the user access method program, including the name of the compiled user access method DLL or shared library, parameters to pass to the program, and the full path and name of the associated data file. PowerExchange calls the user access method program repeatedly to process the data in the associated data file until all the data is processed.
PowerExchange provides example user access method programs with headers files and JCL. These files, named
