Yeah, I was thinking of the matter of new parameters and all - if one didn't need them, it could work pretty seamlessly. Of course, one would depend on the defaults of new parameters, and that may or may not cause problems. Things like CPYFRMIMPF and CPYTOIMPF gave some of us lots of grief!!

I've heard of an approach of creating a command of the same name and

be placed above QSYS in the system portion of the library list.

Does that sound familiar? Or am I in desperate need of a vacation?

That is how I implemented my tape management system in another life. Works
great; the only issue being that as IBM adds parameters/options (which
happened a lot with the SAV* commands back then) there was rework to be
done. But this gave access to the before and after, visibility to the
command's success, and so on.

Still, the exit point is probably a better answer if only because of the
rework.
