Hello!
We at Volvo IT agree that it would be a very good idea to avoid U0904.
We have had a few U0904 abends in production systems, and as MODIFY FMTLIB and contents of FMTLIB is not managed by us in the IMS infrastructure team, we cannot guarantee that it will not happen again. And it always feels a little bit embarrassing to try to explain to our customers why the IMS production system suddenly abended.
