Re: What good is ILE?

[CRPence <CRPbottle@xxxxxxxxx>]

  As in http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/rhetorical%20question
 _rhetorical question_  noun - a question asked solely to produce an 
effect... and *not to elicit a reply*

  So in effect, I am asking nothing; merely hoping to evoke thought by 
the reader, about what meaning the question might have for the reader. 
For example, one thought might be "I did not open an APAR for any of 
those issues...".

  Per the undesired reply, and if I must be so direct, for clarity... 
The intended effect of the rhetorical question was for one to consider 
that if there are such great difficulties for something not working, 
using something that should apparently function as expected but does 
not, then those problems should be pursued as apparent defects via 
support calls; for which further expectations reasonably would be an 
APAR to document those difficulties [plus the apparent circumvention to 
use OPM CLP instead] and even possibly a PTF [perhaps so that the ILE CL 
would work in those situations, or be clearly documented as having some 
restriction for the use of CLLE in whatever circumstances not already 
documented].
