11.5 Other Differences
11.5.1 Performance
The same factors affecting performance in VSE also apply in OS/390. The speed
of the printer, complexity of the output stream, transmission speeds, VTAM and
NCP parameters, host and printer resources all figure into the performance of
the printing.
11.5.2 Installation Exits
PSF/VSE has no installation exits. PSF/MVS provides installation exits for your
use in coding and installing modifications to PSF functions. For example, with
these exits, you can:
Create your own separator pages, or modify separator-page formats
supplied by PSF
Modify, add, or suppress output records
Modify system management facilities (SMF) type 6 records
Inspect, redirect, or suppress PSF messages
Manage resources
