(I don't know CLIST.)  Is that equivalent to what I see in the Ref.:
    SET &SYSSCAN=0
    You can assign &SYSSCAN a value from 0 to +2,147,483,647 (2³¹-1). 

Commas?  Can this loop to that max value?  How long does that take?

Would it be better to save and restore the previous value?

Is 16 a particularly useful value?  Has anyone ever relied on that exact value?
