Each to their own. I don't mind the lower case because my change
command will change it to upper. But if it would make everyone
happy, there is nothing wrong with it being in upper case ("VEND_HLQ")
as long as it's unique so something doesn't accidently get changed.

Sure. It would save me the time it takes to look through some
of the install sample jobs and see what "variables" need to be
changed. Make sure you explain that it needs to go in a
SYSPROC/SYSEXEC lib or supply another clist/exec that can
be executed directly to set up a ALTLIB.
Back to the "autocust" installs... Some vendors who supply
them also provide alternate install instructions to do it the
way I prefer. That is a great alternative since it lets me
choose one way and someone else choose another way. In my
experience, it seems jr. sysprogs seem to like those sort
of things more than experienced sysprogs who understand
what the jobs are doing better (like setting up an smp/e
environment with a certain set of options etc.).
