Agreed - but even for defaults, I've always wanted more granularity than I get with RACF (unless I'm willing to do a whole lot of profiles) and if I'm going to do the heavy lifting in SMS anyway, I never saw any point in using the DFP segment. I can provide the same defaults plus more from

Bob, I really try to avoid the DO-SET-EXIT-END loops you speak of, I find them cumbersome and hard to read. I find that one large SELECT-WHEN-OTHERWISE-END provides a better structure for this, and since it avoids the numerous EXITs, it allow for such things as WRITE statements after the end
