Gee, hasn't IBM heard that attached tasks can run concurrently?

Gee, I wish I had thought of that.  Maybe I'll suggest it to IBM!

And the additional PITA is that I type 'D' in front of a few dozen
data set names, ENTER, respond to the confirmation with "Don't ask!?"
and go for coffee.  I come back.  Oops!  A third of the way down the
list is a VSAM data set; it prompts me regardless!  Similarly for
in use, or already deleted by another process.

I wish it would do the ones it can, and only after all those ask
me about the rest; a Continue After Failure option.
