An ISV is in a similar position.  "You can get that from CBTTAPE" is
unsatisfactory.  One can't count on any customer's having it, nor
on the support status.

So I welcome the JCL enhancements announced for z/OS 2.1, even
though many of them duplicate CBTTAPE facilities.  Of course, they'll
benefit us only when they've aged to the lowest supported level of
z/OS.
