Special case—care!
If all the following are true, the route selection call fails but the routing program is
not reinvoked for a route selection error:
not reinvoked for a route selection error:
1. The program is not defined on the local region.
2. Program autoinstall is not active on the local region.
3. On the route selection call, the routing program routes the link request to the
local region.
Therefore, to dynamically route a program-link request that the routing program may
route locally, you should do either of the following:
route locally, you should do either of the following:
1. Install a program definition on the local system, specifying DYNAMIC(YES).
2. Set program autoinstall active, using it to install a definition that specifies
DYNAMIC(YES).

To use the XPCERES exit, both the routing region and the target region must
support the “resource unavailable” condition (RESUNAVAIL). All the following

If, for example, the linked-to program is disabled on the target region, or a required
file is missing, your exit program can give the dynamic routing program the
opportunity to route the request to a different region. To do this, it should set a
return code of UERCRESU. This causes CICS to:
