Ah, but you aren't talking about a user's profile, or the profile of a user-written server; you're talking about the profile of a vended product, which has specific accepted ways of adding commands, that don't include editing the profile. You say that the profile is the domain of the customer, but isn't it really the domain of the individual user, which, in this case, is actually IBM, running a product on your system. It really isn't "your" profile. It belongs to the user, in this case, a service machine designed by a vendor.
You're definitely in the "Your arrow, your foot" area, as maintenance to the product may well wipe out any changes you've made, and you won't get a lot of sympathy from your avenues of support when it happens. You'd do well to read and heed the manual, and stay out of the profile. It can only lead to being found crunchy and drowned in ketchup. -- Robert P.

PROFILE EXEC is as much the domain of the VM/CMS customer as $HOME/.profile is the domain of the Unix customer.
