Ah!  I understand what you are saying - I guess that I am
assuming that just about every user has access to a command
line - and while that is generally true, it's not
universally true.

When the original poster wrote "If the user had access to a
command line..." I assumed LMTCPB(*NO) rather than no
command line available through any of their menu options.
My experience is that most users can find a command line
from somewhere within their menu system - whether it be from
the SysReq menu, or a WRKOUTQ prompt, or a GO to an OS/400
menu that supports command entry - but again, that
assumption is not likely to be universally true.

I still like the dedicated command route, but as you pointed
out, you would have to ensure (or engineer) access to a
command line prompt.
