You're right.  Testing is a real pain.  That's why many people I know don't
do it. (ha ha ha).  You're approach is solid, assuming you do not submit
jobs in the S/38 environment where the INLLIBL parameter default is *JOBD
(or assuming you do not use this natively).

I'm curious too.  Apparently, there's somebody in Rochester whose
compensation plan is based on the number of system libraries they can
generate.  Hopefully that person will get pinkslipped today  (you know,
today is the day!), or else the swat team unable to take out Sadam could
use said person for practice.
