In previous versions of tableBASE, the exits provided for tableBASE users, along with those reserved for DKL, were referred to as tableBASE system exits. Starting with tableBASE Version 6, a clear distinction is made between user exits and system exits. User exits are those designed for tableBASE users, while system exits are reserved strictly for use by DKL. This chapter deals with building and implementing user exits.
Starting with Version 6, user exits have been significantly enhanced to allow for added flexibility and functionality. There are now six dynamically invoked user exits available in all command environments, as summarized in Table 17.
