HOME_DIR in Assembly

(No question here, just a rant 
)
Just spent 2 of the precious Sunday morning hours on debugging a program that tries to find its HOME_DIR. Was chasing my own tail when I stepped through numerous times with the debugger to find out why it will always receive "NOT FOUND" when retrieving its home directory.
The home directory isn't set when you start a job from the QMON, because, well of course it isn't
EX and QPTR Files will set it, but QMON of course won't.
