This looks verrrry nice. I can't tell from the doc linked to: will it flag discrepancies between the running system and the init deck? Ever since JES2 went 'mostly dynamic' years ago, there has been a risk of failing to update the deck to match a dynamic change. A shop could go years without realizing that the deck is severely out of date--until a cold start resets all values back to the init deck specifications.

One of the recent JES2 enhancements, intended to help entice JES3 customers accept JES2, was a JES3-like initialization stream syntax checker: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW_2.3.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r3.hasa300/dscheck.htm -- Phoenix Software International Edward E.
