The boss I had when I worked on Rel 6 for a living would have insisted on a new update. In
recent times, I have been working by myself on a z/VM system and got lazy and would have
just modified HRC101DS. I have gotten into trouble with that laziness so it would be
better if you created a new update with comments that HRC101DS incorrectly removed the
line and this new update is putting it back in. Updates and AUX files are the history
books of VM.
