The EXCEPTION subcommand option reports only the exception status. The NOEXCEPTION subcommand option produces a standard report.
Specify EXCEPTION if you want to report only those entries on reports with at least one field in exception status. Specify NOEXCEPTION to produce a standard report. NOEXCEPTION is the default.
The thresholds for exception fields are defined in the exception threshold data set. For more information about the exception threshold data set, see the Report Reference.
If you use this subcommand option, your JCL must contain a valid DD definition for the ddname EXCPTDD. For more information about required ddnames, see DD statements.
