Dean & others

I realize that its a significant performance hit but in an environment where
you're adding lower level program calls to existing programs,  How do you
keep straight where you did & where you didn't have RSTDSP(*YES)?  

How do you keep them straight when recompiling?  Put comments in the DDS?

The blanket CHGCMDDFT to RSTDSP(*YES) kinda cures that.   I mean I think
a lot of people use PUTOVR & OVERLAY, etc where having RSTDSP(*NO) might
cause you fits when you add a new lower level program call that puts up a 
DSPF and then return to have your screen look funny. 

Just curious
