Rationale was that SMP/E first opens *every* output data set for INPUT to verify that it is not DSORG=PO with no member specified.
Likewise OEXCL can cause problems if a utility unwittingly opens a file more than once. I suspect that (perhaps for this reason) allocation ignores/suppresses OEXCL. I have been able to specify DD PATHOPTS=(...,OEXCL) and overwrite a previously existing file.
