      - User exits invocation
      - Creating user exits through the User Exits Workbench
        As an alternative to creating user exits manually, you can create, edit, compile, and link-edit a number of user exits through the User Exits Workbench tool. The tool enables you to customize your user exits by using the IBM z/OS Metal C language (for details about this language, see the IBM z/OS Metal C Programming Guide and Reference).

Application-description-feedback exit (EQQUX003)

The application-description-feedback exit (EQQUX003) is called when HCL Workload Automation for Z is about to update the application-description data set with a new value for the estimated duration of an operation. The exit can change the estimated duration value that has been calculated by HCL Workload Automation for Z.

The sample library SEQQSAMP that was created during installation contains the EQQUX003 exit, which is a sample of application-description-feedback exits. For information about this library and its samples, see Sample library (SEQQSAMP).
