I'm not saying that I agree that GETMAIN should initialize the storage. I am just saying that the way storage is handled has changed in z/OS 1.10 and it bit us in vendor code. As I said earlier, programming 101 says that you should initialize any area you plan on using so, if the program was coded correctly, changes in GETMAIN wouldn't have caused this problem.
The changes in z/OS 1.10 were both valuable and necessary. Should have been done ages ago.
That being said, can you guarantee that all of your old assembler programs initialize their working storage?
That's why we use the IGVxxxxx DIAG TRAPs. Your vendors whose code "bit" you should be doing the same.
