Shmuel pointed out that this may not be the "best" way to do it. Apparently my experience is not really "large shop" where the "maintenance res" is never really used, but only cloned from. So an automatic ICKDSF PUTIPL might actually be a poor idea because it would make a person think everything is done. Whereas, in some cases, a manual PUTIPL needs to be done after a logical copy of some sort. Parochial of me.
