    IBM recognizes that the ACS routine examples that were written many years ago need to be looked at for updates, clarification, further explanation, etc.; however, instead of deleting the sample members, OAM has added an item to our backlog to take a look at these samples.

    IBM believes that this requirement has merit; however, instead of removing the ACS routine samples that are provided, this requirement will give us an opportunity to review what is currently provided in the samples for clarity and currency.
