When they do similar things, yet one of them is supported by IBM and the
other is not, then the discussion of "more useful" may not be as
valuable, but the question of "safer" is clearly answered.

That depends on what you are tying to accomplish. If you want to
eliminate
all code that is not refreshables but is linked with RENT, then
CSVRENTPROTECT is what you need.

When you have two options that do the same thing then it's useful to
discuss which is safer and more useful; when they do *different* things
then such discussions are meaningless.
