That's interesting; if I was the developer of the command I would most
likely include the checking in the command source itself (why have both VCP
source and command source?). I envisioned the VCP for when you *don't*
have the source code and need to perform some checking like I have
included. And I haven't seen anything that I can find that IBM did not
intend us to use this feature. But to each his own!

VCP support is there for developers to use when creating their own
commands. i've created many over the years and VCPs are great tools, but
adding a VCP to an IBM supplied command IMO is *not* a good idea.
