I should think the path of least resistance would be to use the 
QMHRCVPM API.

An exception description can be set to not save exception data. If this 
value is set to 1 then RETEXCPD will not return the exception data. See 
the MATEXCPD, MODEXCPD, SNSEXCPD,  MI instruction templates. The 'No 
data' bit at offset 8, bit 3 is the "exception data retention option".
