Their management also decided/allowed years earlier for JES2 exits to be written and be made part of production systems in the first place. Exits for almost any software product by nature will be dependent on that product's internals (sort exits and SMF exits quickly come to mind as exceptions). Internals change a lot more frequently than externals. I wonder if their management also required those JES2 exits to be thoroughly documented by their developers "just in case" and what management required those exit developers to do during their last week of employment. Why does this remind me of management's deciding to allow a one-byte field to store the year number in the 1960s and then being "surprised" when Y2K was only a few months away?
