Here's a wild thought. Create your own dummy subsystem with its own initialization routine that gets executed before any of the subsystems you're concerned about. This initialization routine can load the other modules into CSA, or even copy from one library to a linklist library. We have an installation defined dummy subsystem that uses the initialization routine to define system level name/token pairs during the IPL process.

Looking for a life hack to manage subsystem initialization modules. We recently discovered that our tape management (HSC/Oracle) SSN init routine was 12 years out of date. The problem is that the load library itself does not need to be in link list as it is STEPLIBed to in the HSC proc. But the SSN init routine needs to be found at IPL time, so we copy it into a link list library. And then forget about it. One solution it to put the whole load library into link list, but that seems a bit extreme for all similar products.

Does anyone have a fairly foolproof technique for keeping the SSN init module up to date short of depending on doc-which will surely get missed somewhere down the road.
