Had the same problem. See my post on the subject for how

In my case it was about 450 profiles. (Just finished the last today).
We
don't have the ISF exit, and new exits aer very much frowned upon as
there
aren't enough people around here who can read/write/change an
Assembler
program.
So managements solution to lack of assembler knowledge isn't to train
new
people, instead they will restrict usage of the language.
That path leads towards madness.
Mark:
I disagree. The problem is (the way I see it) is that assembler people
are hard to come by and if a program burps there may not be anyone
around to fix the program.
The shop I am familiar with had a no assembler policy. Worked vary well
even if a cobol (they were 100 percent cobol) program burped in the
middle of the night, some one could step up to the plate and fix it.
