I wonder what would happen if the exit code is less than 64.

In any case, the question is incomplete: what are you trying to do with
the non-zero exit code?  Just log it?  Report it back to the shell when
you're invoking procmail interactively?  Can you set it in a clone
procmail so that it goes back only to the parent procmail and not to the
MTA?

I think exit codes are unsigned eight-bit values.
