Event Exit HTTP

If the message body of an HTTP message is a text message, it is normally structured in an HTML, XML or JSON format. Since existing program units are not prepared for such a data format, HTTP messages can optionally be transferred to a user exit that is referred to as an event exit HTTP or HTTP exit. The task of the HTTP exit is to convert the network representation of a message to the format expected by a program unit or vice versa.

The event exit HTTP is defined during generation with a PROGRAM statement and assigned to a TAC using the HTTP-DESCRIPTOR statement.
