This can work in some cases, but it's a major kludge in my opinion.  I can't 
believe MVS'ers have lived with this for 40 or so years.

Can I assume that there is no way to have "conditional" DD statements.  
Something like:

// IF COMPILE=CICS
//SYSLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=CICS.SDFHCOB
// ENDIF

Simple in VSE.  In z/OS?  No way that I can see.
Argh!
