Good point. Is WTO always an SVC? If so, and you can be called running on an 
SRB, or certain other situations, then WTO is no good. (If there is a branch 
option then you must use it in those situations.)

If you are talking about the security exit samples, then they accomplished the 
desired results by discouraging it's use. This is not an exit to learn about 
coding exits. For high risk exits, never expect anything more than the basics 
(control blocks, return codes and something trivial that does nothing). They 
gave you the gun but don't expect them to load it for you. 
  Creating a sample that covers everything you need to know is impossible. SAF 
calls can occur in almost any type of environment. You can cripple your system 
if you don't have recovery correct. You can cripple your system if you use a 
macro that is not valid for every environment. Have you implemented diagnostic 
tools that don't make the problem worse.
