<snip> When is this area obtained and freed? I.e. is this area unique for each invocation of IEFU86, or unique for each individual record, or "global". I'm wondering if I can put something in it on one invocation of IEFU86 and access it in a different invocation. </snip>
Standard response, which applies here too: if it doesn't say that you are allowed to do so then do not assume that you can. The area is not unique to your exit routine. This should not be a surprise given that there can be many exit routines associated with a given exit, and SMF is not in charge of tracking what those exit routines are.
