LNKLST UPDATE is never safe no matter what you do.
The DELAY sub-keyword of LNKLST UPDATE might help to reduce the exposure.
It will in no way eliminate it, any more than you can guarantee the
wall-clock elapsed-time of a specific piece of code.

I would be astonished if anything from STDENV would be executed.
STDENV is a DD statement read by BPXBATCH *before* starting
whatever it has to start according to the PARM=.
Leonard,
I'm not sure if I understand the question.
DD STDENV contains lines that set environment variables prior to
execution of a shell or program:
VARNAME=VALUE
AFAIK, it is always used by BPXBATCH if present.
See: SA22-7802 "z/OS Unix System Services Command Reference" Appendix D.
