I wholeheartedly agree. Especially check your parmlib: Having PACK ON for MSTJCL00 is deadly during IPL. (Ask me how I know: I found that the hex chars were in the saved member by doing a zapdump of the TTR. After sadump and being onsite at that customer trying to ascertain if it was an IBM bug or not. It was one of the more memorable user errors.)
