Ted:
*NEVER* underestimate programmers. They can and do figure out ways
around anything you try and put in place.
I have seen programmer get themselves in supervisor state key 0
without access to an authorized library.
They had a tricky bypass and it worked that is all i will say. When
IBM closed the loophole they threatened to quit.
They did have management over a barrel but at least management stood
up to them.

The problem with this is that a capable programmer will LOAD the
module, and can use BSAM or EXCP to explore the module structure,
or search through storage, then enter the code at any offset desired.
Why would somebody go to all that trouble?
If they have the time to do that, when are they doing the job
they're hired for?
I, as a rule, do my job and leave the complex work arounds alone.
I think you're giving your programmers too much credit.
