And should these user-exits be SMP controlled to begin with? Or should
we simply give sample assemble/linkedit JCL along with the source and
let the end user control their own destiny? The downside is that it
might not always be obvious to new sysprog's which exit(s) are actually
installed and active or where the source is for the active and installed
exits. At least with SMP you know which usermod was last applied; which
should give you the last set of updates or source for the exit.

Russ, I tend to believe that user exits should be under SMP control, BUT
that the site needs to maintain complete documentation of exit function,
status and location. Newcomers to a site seldom have any idea about what
usermods are present or why, but will learn quickly when there's good docs.
