It's a management issue, not a technical issue. If management gives a green light, any competent systems programmer should be able to import his personal tools. If management says no, then you have an obligation to respect their rules unless and until they change their minds.
The same issue applies to a DVD; with permission it's trivial; without permission, don't do it even though it's still trivial. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

I carry everything around on a USB drive. All JCL, manuals and source code and even load libraries that I might ever need. Drives are very cheap and can hold much more data than I ever would need. I rarely go anywhere without it because, well, it's attached to my keys.
