CFCC loops very nicely. AFAIK, running a copy doesn't affect zOS usage
charges.
Creating an IPL-able single purpose one instruction loop doesn't sound like
an insurmountable technical challenge. Might even be "fun" (or not). It
wouldn't affect zOS usage charges, either.
Happy Friday!

Pay annual maintenance to RedHat or SUSE just to run a "soaker" looping
program? I think I like Jim Phoenix's CFCC idea better. At least it
comes free with the box.
