FORCE is a last resort. FORCE ARM is how you cancel a non-cancellable
address space.
Typical IBM backwardness. FORCE ... ARM is less dangerous than just
FORCE ..., thus making a miskeying dangerous. It probably should be
changed to FORCE ARM/NOARM with ARM being the default where FORCE
NOARM would be the same as FORCE today.
And, there's the issue of "ARM" being confused with anything having to
do with the MVS Automatic Restart Manager (ARM).
Silly lad, of course ARM has nothing to with ARM! For that there's the ever
popular ARMRESTART operand.
It's a "mess".
