Unfortuantely, mods are not dead. Nor does "mods" have to mean USERMODs. :-( We have libraries concatenated in front of SYS1.LINKLIST and SYS1.LPALIB. Containing modules with aliases like ICEGENER, IEBCOPY, IEBGENER, IEBUPDTE, IEHPROGM, IGWSPZAP, and IMASPZAP. That's one module. It's primary function is to reserve datasets under some circumstances. A secondary function is to produce 0C4 abends under other circumstances. Hopefully we are an extreme case - alone in the world. But I wouldn't take bets on it. If you are an old enough shop to have closets that could contain skeletons, they probably *do* contain skeletons. And this is not the sort of thing you want to find after you've laid off a bunch of "unneeded" system programmers.
