situations in which an empty dataset is an error condition, in which case I
want to generate an error message where the operator can't miss it. Otherwise

Obviously, if you've gone to all that trouble already, then changing the

You can have more than one JESplex in a sysplex, but check whether you will
need a $ACTIVATE before you go production.

You can create a separate JESPLEX within your sysplex. As long as you do not
share CKPT/SPOOL you should be ok.
