I was stupid enough to enable that, back in OS/VS1 days. I wrote two CICS 
transactions. One showed the initiators. The other showed the jobs currently 
running. When I did this, I was envisioning the Production Control people using 
them. Tech Services was in Operations at the time. I was told to allow 
programmers to use them. War ensued. The programmers kept calling the operators 
complaining that other jobs were running before theirs. Or that they didn't 
like how the classes on the initiators were set up.
