ObAllanSherman That sounds like good advice[1]. Who will be holding
the bag when the balloon goes up?

Ask your coworker how many different routines in, e.g., TSO/E, ISPF,
you'll need to change to make that fly. The relevant code is OCO and a
real mare's nest.

It would also put all of them in the same usercatalog. But it's not my
dog.

[1] I don't recall the exact lyrics, but the relevant line is
    something like
    "Good advice, good advice,
    good advice costs nothing and is worth the price."
