Nothing's wrong your suggestion. It's better and I'll change my code. Background: IIRC it's just that I had it written to go through the spring of 2042 (the fall of 2042 is after the TOD clock wraps). Then I discovered that CPSYNTAX accepts dates in 2042, but CP balks at IPL for any dates after 2041. [CPSYNTAX only checks syntax, there can still be other problems in SYSTEM CONFIG that only an IPL will discover.] So I added the "Leave" while reporting it to IBM, figuring that getting an APAR/PTF would be easy for this minor problem; then I could remove the Leave. But IBM asked (reasonably) if they could fix it in some future release with an internal update rather than go the APAR/PTF route. Given that we have a plenty of time before 2042 and IBM has better things to work on that something 35 years from now, I agreed. I never looked at that part of the code again.
