Hello,

the question came up, what happens if someone specifies a nonexistent program 
as EXCPEXIT. AFAIK it's an easy answer: NOTHING. That's because of the 
definition of an EXCEPTIONEXIT:

EXCEPTIONEXIT exit routine

z/OS DFSMStvs Administration Guide
GC26-7483-00

You can provide an exception exit routine to monitor I/O errors associated with 
a data set. You specify the name of your routine via the access method services 
DEFINE command using the EXCEPTIONEXIT parameter to specify the name of your 
user-written exit routine. ...

So the program will called only in the very rare situation of an I/O error. In 
this case you probably might get an S806 error additional to the I/O error. 

Kind regards.
