The Mellon Bank Mods were written prior to JES2's ability to run more
than one converter process. Consequently, they do not guarantee
serialization for the same reason that CNVTNUM=>2 users don't get
serialization. For more info, see:

They died out many moons ago, perhaps because they mods became a upgrade
nightmare, or perhaps it was the OCO. More, the job schedulers became
sophisticated and powerful enough to handle the most complex of these
issues.
So, my $0.02 (before taxes) would be to consider a job scheduler. One
big benefit is you can have one tomorrow as opposed to waiting
potentially years for IBM to consider JES modifications.
