I'm an Assembler guy - I don't use C - so I'm probably the wrong person to ask. However, I suppose it depends on which type of exit parameter list C can take advantage of (if either). The Assembler exit lists are simple ones whereas the COBOL exit lists are more complex. Both are described in the DFSORT book here: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/ICE1CA50/4.0?DT=20100630155256 You would use N in the MODS statement for a routine that uses the Assembler exit list, or C in the MODS statement for a routine that uses the COBOL exit list. Maybe somebody who actually uses C can give you a better answer.
