In forty-odd years on 360s and later machines, I've had to do a 
lot of things that weren't pretty, Most notably spending two or 
three weeks trying to sandwich a few instructions into an SVC 
overlay so it would still fit into a transient area.

(S.C.) I chose MVI rather than OI because I don't know the 
initialization status of the DSECT, and it's an input file, so 
MVI was safe, whereas OI is iffy.
