User Exit 3 (User-Defined Phonetization)

This user exit may be used to perform user-defined phonetization. It is given control by the ADACMP utility or the Adabas nucleus whenever phonetic processing is required.

The user exit must develop a three-byte phonetic key using the value supplied. The address of the resulting phonetic key must be placed at 8(R1) before control is returned.

This document covers the following topics:

User-Defined Phonetization User Exit (3) Parameters
Parameter A fullword address of . . .
0(R1) the four-byte length for the value to be phoneticized.
4(R1) the address of the value to be phoneticized.
8(R1) a three-byte location to contain the phonetic key. This address is set to zero before the user exit and must be set to the actual address during the user exit.

The call to the user exit is made using a standard BALR 14,15 assembler instruction. All registers must be saved when control is received and restored immediately prior to returning control to Adabas. The content of R15 is ignored.
