For a one-off [semi-]emergency situation, this should be fine. For anything longer term, two things to watch out for are: RACF's DSMON, and several third party tools will object when they find your dynamically banged-in address. If you have auditors who monitor this kind of thing, then you may have some 'splainin to do. For our products the doc explains this in what we hope is a transparent manor, and provides the information needed to be sure that a rogue exit has not been installed. If you have any other products that also dynamically add these "static" exits, you need to be sure they all play nicely. In particular, each needs to be able to add and remove itself in a safe way that does not depend on starting the products in a particular order.Compare and Swap is merely the beginning. In our travels we have only once encountered a truly "difficult" third (fourth?) party vendor, and in that case the customer did have to start and stop things in a fixed order.
