It depends.  Exit points are just places in the IBM servers where they will
call a program of yours.  Your program gets passed a couple of parameters. 
One is a structure with some data about whats going on at that point and
the other is a return code.  If you are just logging access, its simple
enough to just write out the structure to a file or journal.  If you are
trying to control access it gets more complicated, especially with ODBC as
the data isn't always in an easy to use form (an SQL statement you have to
parse that may be incomplete).  Also, the information in the manual isn't
100% accurate so a little matching up with actual tests is required if you
get fancy with the exits.
