Easy for you and me to redesign MVS retroactively but yes, your point is well-taken. It would seem that for the same effort as Set PROG= IBM could have produced a much more generally useful console command to cause MVS to read and "execute" a file of console commands, presumably possibly including SETPROG,APF,ADD and DELETE.
Or perhaps such a command exists (I am not much of a console operator)? If so, why then SET PROG= at all? Why not just use that facility?
