Files() counts all the RELFILEs including JCLIN.  If you code FILES(0) it
causes a syntax error -- you must entirely omit FILES().  (Grrr... Why?
It's a PITA when generating MCS with a program.)

If your PTF contains only JCLIN, APPLY will receive RC4, and as mentioned
earlier, no modules will be relinked.  (Grrr.... PITA; worth RFE someday.)

Why deliver a PTF in RELFILE format rather than inline?  It proliferates
TLIBs and inflates the catalog.
