I have ten years of commercial product experience with SMF exit development. 
:-) I am super familiar with SMF 30 subtypes 4 and 5 (and all the others). I 
have a yellow card.

I was referring to a program running as a jobstep retrieving condition codes 
for its own job. Is there an MVS service or control block chain that readily 
gives that information?

SMF exits, by the way, cannot necessarily issue WTOs.

Step and job end status are very accessible. Look at SYS1.SAMPLIB(SMFEXITS). 
Factors like step and maximum condition codes; step and job CPU totals; and I/O 
counts can be extracted from control blocks and displayed in WTOs. The code 
versions we use have been tailored over the years so that our messages don't 
look exactly like SAMPLIB examples, but it's all very doable. 

All you need is a POP, a yellow card, and lots of patience. Or you could try 
your hand at writing some exit code in other than ASM. Like Metal C. A LOT of 
folks would like to get their mitts on that.
