How is productivity helped. One reason - the job's submitter may be trying to run his work at lower cost than the correct job class would cost, assuming a job-class-based charge-back policy is in effect. I heard long ago about a user who was printing free copies of a large document by submitting the document as comment statements with a deliberate JCL error. MVS would then list all JCL, including what was really his text, and not charge him for either running the job that failed due to a JCL error or printing the "error" listing. He was eventually found out. But this could be an urban legend. Sounded cool at the time, anyway. Bill Fairchild
