from debug.html:

 If it's a Real Problem, the Lead in Phoenix writes an SCR.
 You can use this SCR to Excuse your Test Failures. Leave the
 Test Failures in the Test, list them in an EXC file, and you
 are finished with the Initial Development of that Test. 
 The HISO Initial Development Inspection of the Test will check
 to make sure that fixing the SCR should Pass the Failing Testcases.
 Everything is put in ACM, and it's on to the next Test.

 Hopefully, the SCR will get fixed in time for SCR Rework Phase,
 and you can rerun the Test, running on a new Load containing
 the Fix to the problem you discovered.
 Once it's all running, request the removal of the EXC from ACM.

MORE INFO ON EXCs:

all the above works fine. 
unless THEY DON'T FIX THE SCR.
EVER.
OR they fix the SCR and YOU DON'T NOTICE.

generally, they don't fix the SCR for so long, 
that you just get used to it being an excuse.
then they fix it, and you don't notice. nobody tells you.
anyway, you need to be reviewing what you're putting in
the EXC files, because sometimes it's wrong.

you can't put a CLOSED SCR in there
(unless they closed it unfixed)
so review the status of the SCRs listed in the EXC periodically.

i wrote a tool to count the failed testcases listed in the EXCs
and compare it to the failed testcases in the RPTs.

ebwr1:[bennettp]exc.com

therefore, i am quite interested in the 
FORMAT OF AN EXC

please separate the testcases witha comma,
and don't use any other commas in the the file.

here is a good one:

            ** ** ** ** RBT EXCEPTION REPORT ** ** ** **
