I haven't seen a reply to this question, so I'll toss in a couple of pence. Are you converting an old exit to run in 1.7, or are you adding new function you did not have in previous releases?
We use Exit 6 to force job class, mainly because by that time in processing we know a lot more about a job than we do at input time. Like many shops, our Exit 6--which did not change in 1.7--was borrowed from the usermods tape eons ago. If you really want to use Exit 52, which is new in 1.7, you probably need to implement the same logic in Exit 2. If you use Exit 6, you only have to do it once. . .
