You state "vendors ignore customers quite often." Realize that vendors
have more than one customer, and doing things EXACTLY as you like may
cause problems for the bulk of the other customers (or, often, for one
or two huge customers), and therefore, the vendor does not make the
change requested. Also, customers frequently ignore vendor (including
IBM) recommendations. For example, how many times have Peter Relson or
Jim Mulder pointed out that doing thinks like deleting linklist datasets
while the system thinks they are in use is A BAD idea, yet people still
do it.

Wayne, I'll grant your point, but consider this: why not make it a
customer-adjustable value, with a default
set to satisfy the best case? Rather like setting default values for
DF/SORT ??
