The SYSVARS files  are processed by the REXX  interpreter (lines starting
with an asterisk are ignored). So the  rules are the same as for any REXX
program,  and indeed  you have  to  use quotes  if a  string contains  an
arithmetic operator.
 
In the list header, you just write the name of the exit:
 
* Exit= UD-LEXIT

LSVPUT is a single  interface to two commands, PUT and  PUTC. You use PUT
to update LISTSERV  files (agendas, notebooks, etc). To  update CMS files
that aren't  available via GET,  you must  use PUTC. So,  LSVPUT UD-LEXIT
EXEC A (PUTC should work.
