And in the second example, even when you do have write access, that means
the log files would be created all over the place within the directory tree
instead of in one known location. Yuck!!! :-)

Now that is one thing I _strongly_ agree with. It's about 30 years
later than it should have been for that to be switched to /NOPRINT
by default. Yes, it's an incompatible change. Yes, it's worth it.

VSI: If you want to change that default to /NOPRINT, then you would
strongly have my support. :-)

Here's a related question: Should /NOTIFY be the default on batch jobs
instead of the current /NONOTIFY ?
