If you have the following tool from IBM it will do it nicely
Tivoli Advanced Catalog Management for z/OS 2.5.0>Tivoli Advanced Catalog
Management for z/OS>Advanced Catalog Management for z/OS User's
Guide>EXPLORE>EXPLORE - Search ICF Catalogs for Data Sets>CRITERIA keyword
filters
EXCPEXIT {EQ | NE} { exception_exit | ' ' }
searches data sets that match the specified argument for exception exit
value or mask value. If specified as: ' ' (a blank in single quotes) it
indicates a search for data sets that have a null (not specified) exception
exit value.
Otherwise you may need to write a CSI process, REXX/SAS reading IDCAMS LISTC or
a product like DTS Software TREX or Mainstar Catalog Recovery Plus
You might also look at ISMF DATASET option and see if there is a field check in
one of the 5 criteria panels.

> Hello,
>
> we found that PTF UA75830 may lead into problems, if VSAM datasets exist
> where EXCPEXIT is not NULL. As long, as a specific RACF profile isn't defined,
> any access to the file isn't possible after this PTF is applied. (RC=152
> during
> open) In our case we found a dataset created in 1994 (!) where EXCPEXIT
> contains a value, but in fact there is no usage of this program specified
> here.
> So we decided to change the catalog entry via ALTER dsn
> NULLIFY(EXCEPTIONEXIT).
>
> My question now is: Is there any easy solution to scan all VSAM datasets on a
> system to find all those, who have EXCPEXIT defined, in order to avoid
> problems after this PTF is active?
