My approach to systems programming is that it is better to be a live
coward than a dead duck. When IBM says that UPDATE JOBNAME=* is dangerous,
I prefer that someone else conduct the experiment.

>Some of us though issue the UPDATE JOBNAME=*

It's not my dog.

Correct.

>We would like to start to do this in production, less IPLS, 

Maybe, and maybe *more* IPL's, depending on whether you find out the hard
way why IBM gave us the warning.
