My only suggestion would be to reverse the ordering of the COMTSR -U
statements. Some TSRs unload only in the reverse order of their
installation. I don' t know if COMTSR is one of these, but it's a good
general practice.
Putting in the TIME statement is a neat trick, one that I hadn't seen
before.
