User exit to provide different History file name

I know that users can have Fault Analyzer write to a user history dataset using the IDIHIST DD statement, but I would like to be able to code a user exit which allows the customer instruct Fault Analyzer to use a specific history file when creating fault entries. This exit should allow the customer to specify a unique history file dataset name for Fault Analyzer to use when preparing to create a fault entry, based on criteria such as jobname, submitting user ID, program name, etc.

    Either the Fault Analyzer END or CONTROL exits can be used to do this.  These exits have access to a variety of information relating to the job/task being analyzed and can set the history file data set name accordingly.  I have included a very simple example below.  These exits and the related data areas are discussed in the FA users guide.



    /* REXX */                               

    HistFile = '.DEFAULT.HISTORY'       

    If Left(ENV.JOB_NAME,2) = 'HR' Then      
      HistFile = '.HR.HISTORY'          

                                             
    If Left(ENV.EXEC_PGM_NAME,4,'BILL' Then  
      HistFile = '.BILLING.HISTORY'     

    ENV.IDIHIST = HistFile                   

    EXIT 0
