That's because they need you right there in case of an emergency. My usual response was theat if there really was an emergency that required my onsite presence, I could be there within an hour.

As for IMS, there is a command level preprocessor available for it. It is just rarely used. In fact, it is the same preprocessor that is used for command level CICS.
