Drifting the topic, any product that lets you make changes via command really 
could use an option to generate a new startup options file that reflected all 
of the cumulative changes.

It would take some doing to do it in way that preserved comments. And avoided 
misleading comments.

Original options file:

FOO = NO ; Turn off the FOO option

Assuming FOO was then turned on dynamically, you would not want an updated file 
that now said

FOO = YES ; Turn off the FOO option

Perhaps the trick would be to comment out any changed statements and put 
documenting comments on generated statements, so the result would be

; FOO = NO ; Turn off the FOO option
FOO = YES   ; Generated by AUTO-OPTION

Subject: Re: JES2 parm change - how make sure it's right?

Is there an RFE or Share requirement to examine the running JES2 and produce an 
updated  initialization <anachronism>deck</anachronism> that reflects the 
initial parameters and the dynamic updates? ISAGN.
