they could no longer assemble programs (no access to sys1.maclib)

Our official language was COBOL nothing else was permitted into
production. The consultants had a habit of doing the other work on
our system, those contained assembler.

Still don't understand why they wasn't allowed to assemble their
programs.
Were they doing "private" programming or what ?

-----------SNIP------------
The standard company wide language was COBOL. None of the programmers
knew assembler. As I explained in a previous post none of the
programmers could debug assembler code.
The consultants were using our resources to compile programs for the
consultants essentially stealing resources from our company. The two
steps we made to stop the process was taking away access to
sys1.maclib and also not allowing assembler to be invoked.
