That would depend on whether such need (and it would have to be a "real
need") occurs before or after we migrate to the new hardware. I.e., we
have no more preventive maintenance cycles scheduled until after
migration is complete. If "after", we would probably have enough spare
DASD to clone another "alternate" set from the Production
pre-maintenance set (provided we haven't "normalized" Production by
then). Otherwise we'll just have to cross that bridge if we come to it.

We try to avoid "extra copies" of load modules; especially of software
products. Too easy to forget they're "lying around".

Actually we're still on z/OS 1.5 (on G5 hardware) at the moment. But
no, we don't have this product installed in the "sandbox" anyway.
