Well we still have a issue as I have been burned with oem and IIRC IBM utility and for that matter JES2 changes that killed production because of a JCL or control card change. From a sketchy memory DFSORT, JES2 were all culprits of IMO unforgivable sin of changing rules. Without proper hold actions or notifications to the users of changes. So as I would like to say in addition to user slipping in changes IBM is guilty as well. Hold actions are. exactly for this, IMO. That is why SMPE and with proper hold actions are really needed.
