The data areas seem like a good way to get H spec keywords in every
program, but I strongly recommend against using the data areas.  The
reason is that if you have one program that needs some special option
(like ALTSEQ), you have to code the H spec, and the data area won't
get picked up.

Now that the H spec can be on several lines, I recommend putting
general keywords in one /COPY file that is copied into every program.
It's a pain to get the /COPY into all the source, but you only have
to do it once.
