RE: RMVEXITPGM needs an IPL??

Well, restricted state is just like an IPL without the IPL. You still have to kick the users off the system, and that usually takes a lot of coercion and coordination!

Sounds like the exit programs work like routing programs-- the system checks to see if it needs to use the exit program when the job begins, and never checks again. A subsystem only checks for the routing program once, and then has a pointer right to the program. Change the routing entry; move or rename the program, and it still has a pointer right to the program. You have to end the subsystem to make it check for routing programs again. (You can delete/recreate the program, but you also have to remove the old program from QRPLOBJ (which is where the subsystem pointer points)).

Admittedly it has been a while but you may be able to remove the exit
program and then bring the system to a restricted state. Then restart the
controlling subsystem.
