I recommended this PPT technique to the ISVs - it is the best way to remediate some of the user key CSA problems. The PPT is the only documented method that MVS provides for running a job or started task in a system key. The real issue here is that maintaining program properties in a separate file (IEFSDPPT in Parmlib) from the program itself is inconvenient and error prone. What you would like to be able to do is specify program properties to the Binder, and have them be part of the program object. As always, feel free to submit a requirement to IBM.
