There is no chance that product maintenance will regress the exit which is the main reason you would want a usermod. Good product installation documentation that says there is an exit in use and putting it in a concatenated loadlib or even directly into the product loadlib is fine as far as I'm concerned. Just so the next pour sole that has to upgrade the product next knows there is an exit and where the source code and asm/lnk JCL is. But that's just my opinion. Creating the usermod is more trouble than I want to go through if I don't have to do it to protect the integrity of the product installation.
