Not very often that I would disagree with both Chris and Barabara, but a quick
test on a sandbox system I have that still runs JES2 inits tells me that
batch jobs running in an init do indeed pick up a the new LNKLST set
(without using SETPROG LNKLST,UPDATE).

I used my IPLINFO EXEC in batch and only had one init started and
ran it both before and after a dynamic addition to the lnklst.  I also
ran a job that actually used a module in the library I added.
