It was from an apparently "private" library SYS1.MLPALIB that resides on
a volume not a part of our regular SYSRES set. That library also
predates the beginning of my tenure here, as well as our first foray
into the world of parallel sysplex and a common SYSRES image. It also
contained a copy of an obsolete CICS exit routine that hasn't been
called since CICS/MVS 2.1.1.
I suspect that when we upgrade to 1.11 in two years, things will be a
-lot- "cleaner" going in. :-)
