Language Environment® considerations

During the File Manager Initialization process, Language Environment® (LE) preinitialization facilities (CEEPIPI) are used to create and initialize a common run-time environment.

This means that if LE is active when File Manager is invoked, there are restrictions on File Manager functionality because the CEEPIPI functions are not available.

Note that these restrictions only apply if LE is active when File Manager is invoked. (LE active means that File Manager has been invoked directly via an LE application (for example, from Enterprise COBOL).)

The restrictions are:

TRAP(ON,NOSPIE) should be set to allow File Manager abend handler to function correctly.
An LE-enabled I/O exit cannot be used.
MOD_DATE REXX Built-in function cannot be used.
Scramble Exit (if used) must be in Assembler (non-LE).
Library Management exit (LMS=USERLMS) cannot be used.
