Give very serious thought to trading out that CL driver program for an RPGIV
program.  Lots more flexibility, easier to write, more control; and far
easier to document.  The really nice thing about that solution is that
suddenly you realize just how limiting CL really is, and how glad you are to
not be using CL anymore.

Example: If I am using a CL driver, which happens to be doing most of
the work of this job stream and I need to update a flag in a file, it's
wasteful to have to create another object to maintain, track, etc. to do
this simple task. Also, processing multiple files in CL requires a similar
solution of creating another object.
