Ed [Gould], The COBOL shops---chiefly in insurance, banking, and communications---that I know well instead do use DYNAM heavily, often when there is no clear rationale for doing so.
Even within a single shop, however, batch jobs are likely to differ significantly in 1) j how much they use execution-time load libraries and 2) which, if any, of these libraries they use. My plea was for measurements that would make better decisions among the available alternatives possible.
