Why do programmers use "BYPASS( HOLDSYS( ) )"
rather than merely BYPASS( HOLDSYSTEM )? Are there some
reason codes to which they particularly want to be alerted

Now that there's a nice (FSVO) Rexx API to SDSF, it would be quite
useful to be able to type a member name on a line of an SDSF output

Is this possible? SDSF doesn't seem to have a prefix area big enough
