Common SMP/E base - Two different environments - User exits


z/OS, SMP/E

Hello,

Just wondering how the following situation can be addressed while remaining faithful to SMP/E: we have two different environments that we're both migrating to z/OS 1.9. In so doing, we want to have a single SMP/E environment for z/OS, as the differences between the two reside elsewhere. There are a couple of niggles, however; to pick one, the PSF user exits, which have a fixed name (APSUX##), are different in both environments.

How would you go about supporting this in a purely SMP/E fashion? I know I can manually linkedit the exit into a user link library that I'll SYSLIB() in PROGxx, or I could use a stub APSUX## that would determine which system it's running on before transferring control to the proper routine, but those approaches seem less elegant.

Thanks for any insight,

Phil
