Also modern programming languages.

Alas, our laboratory configuration precludes practical use of PDSE
(too many systems at too broad a span of releases (some EOS)
for Sysplex).  Alas, alas, UNIX directories, a possible alternative,
are not supported in STEPLIB concatenation.  Feels like material
for a Requirement.

Do customers of ISVs generally welcome products that require
PDSE?
