I've gotten to rather like LE. I can usually get enough information from the CEEDUMP output to debug an abend. I've always had a dislike for things which use ESTAE or ESPIE to trap abends, then obscure what the original problem was. I remember COBOL doing that a lot. But LE is not as bad. And AbendAid really makes it simple in 99% of the time.
