Then what's special about a timer exit or an IRB in general? And why does MVS 
Programming: Authorized Assembler Services Guide say "Upon entry, the exit 
routine runs with an empty dispatchable unit access list (DU-AL). "

A "workunit" (AKA "dispatchable unit") to z/OS is a task or SRB.

Therefore a workunit is created when a task is created (ATTACH/ATTACHX) or
an SRB is scheduled (SCHEDULE, IEAMSCHD).
