Give us exits in sysprof and we won't have the need to put our own stuff on the S-disk. And while you are at it, give us a local system disk and mode of our choice that is accessed by sysprof.
Be carefull what you wish for... on the IBM Internal systems the modified SYSPROF comes with exits that are so complicated that they need to be provided with the platform again. There's a lot of points in SYSPROF where you would want to be able to give control to some local code. Whether done with one exit invoked in different places or with many different exits, it makes for a complicated protocol to follow. Something that is hard to maintain consistent over release boundaries. Soon you end up with samples that you need to customize and then find those samples to change with every release. And you're back to where you started, except that you now have 5 times as much code involved... Rob --
