So do ENQ and DEQ.

I didn't see that documented. Perhaps I was in the wrong manual. I tried it and had some problems. Turns out that
ISGENQ has some other nice things that I can do which are __documented__. I'm very "into" using only
documented, GUPI, stuff any more. Given two ways, which work, to do something, where "this" is undocumented
and "that" is documented, I will almost always choose "that". I will also try to use IBM
recommended facilities, if there are multiple. In this case, I need to do a SYSTEM or SYSTEMS level ENQ/DEQ based on
whether OMVS is running in SYSPLEX(NO) or SYSPLEX(YES) mode. This is easier to do in a documented way using ISGENQ.
Also, although I don't use AR mode at present, ISGENQ is documented to work properly in AR mode. May as well program
for the future. Even though mine may be short.
You must have been in the wrong manual. The MF= keyword for ENQ/DEQ has been
documented since Old Man Noah cornered the market on gopher wood...
