It would be simple to do by customizing one of the IPCS clists. Or just
keep them ignorant of it. Why would a "normal" programmer ever want to
use IPCS? Ours have a bad enough time trying to use AbendAID! If for any
reason they cannot get a symbolic dump (i.e. the source is out of date
or some such), then they usually just throw up their hands and declare
the problem unresolvable until a listing is available and the program
recreated.
