You can certainly do I/O from an exit, at your own risk. In a worst case scenario you'd have to use STARTIO, which is not a GUPI. If you want to use standard access methods then there's the issue of where to park the ACB/DCB, but that might not even be an option if the environment doesn't safely allow OPEN or if the file isn't in the TIOT. The potential for deadly embraces is another concern there.
If you want to use Unix files that raises a whole other set of issues. Likewise for LOGGER. My take is that unless the documentation give you a green light for the particular type of I/O you want to use, don't even think about it. But it's not my dog. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)
