As for your question, my suggestion is to instead of using IEBUPDTE statements, is to copy the entire source program, and make a SMPE usermod out of it with your changes added to it(sufficiently documented, of course). We already do this with a few IBM supplied source programs for TWS. It's not too bad to manage, you just run the compare against your modified usermod with the new source to see whats changed, and then reapply your local modifications to the new version of the source in your usermod.

Now, going to a new CICS release, the sample programs no longer have sequence numbers. This breaks my IEBUPDTE process for sure. (It also breaks ISPF COMPARE to see what has changed!) Perhaps someone can save me some time and tell me what they're doing for this?
