I maintain a CD with ZZSA on it on top of each HMC - (Now you remind me to have my hardware folks go and look to make sure they are still taped there).

Add an aid to the HMC to access the Wait State code documentation. 2. ZZSA equivalent easily invoked via HMC (or SE) as fix of last resort :) Once, after final recabling of a DASD move, we had one mistake in LOADxx. It did take opening an incident with IBM to fully diagnose. We were about to recable back, when I remembered the CD Sam K. gave out at SHARE. Flipped the equivalent of 2 bits in one character and there was dancing in the machine room.
