As a new z/OS applications developer I'm curious as to what types of things use custom user exits et al for. From what I've heard from our sysprogs, our philosophy is to "never" use inhouse written user exits. Of course there are vendor supplied user exits, but the only inhouse user exit I know of that we use is CICS XDLIPRE, and that's only in our test regions. (And interestingly we just this week ran in to issues with XDLIPRE cause AUEP abends!)
