Custom Extract Code

In revision 1942 (Jan 2016) a new option was added to the host MBRSHLN job to extract custom files.

The custom code is added to VSLOAD-CUSTOM (scripts) and a new macro is required to enable/disable the custom call.

• Edit the host macro definition file: /ASKPLUS/vsdata/custom/live/vsmacdef

• Near the beginning of the file, you will see these 3 lines:

(Your VS-CUSTOM-ATTR-XEQ will be set to 0 or 1 - do not change the value.)

** The following Macro should be set to 1 if custom attribute code is to be used for this client. 
** Custom code is added to /ASKPLUS/vsdata/scripts/VSCALC-CUSTOM-ATTR 
Macro VS-CUSTOM-ATTR-XEQ = 0 

• Add the following lines, after the above section, to create the VS-CUSTOM-LOAD-XEQ macro:

(Set the macro value to 0 unless you are adding a custom extract.)

** The following Macro should be set to 1 if custom extract code is to be used for this client. 
** Custom code is added to /ASKPLUS/vsdata/scripts/VSCALC-CUSTOM
Macro VS-CUSTOM-LOAD-XEQ = 0

• The file should now look like this:

** The following Macro should be set to 1 if custom attribute code is to be used for this client. 
** Custom code is added to /ASKPLUS/vsdata/scripts/VSCALC-CUSTOM-ATTR 
Macro VS-CUSTOM-ATTR-XEQ = 0 
  
** The following Macro should be set to 1 if custom extract code is to be used for this client. 
** Custom code is added to /ASKPLUS/vsdata/scripts/VSCALC-CUSTOM
Macro VS-CUSTOM-LOAD-XEQ = 0
