My first post does not reflect disapproval of the JOBRC= facility as
such.  It has entirely legitimate uses.  My intent was only to note
that it will, inevitably, be misused and, inter alia, to express
disapproval of the OP's notion of how to asolve his problem.

All useful facilities lend themselves to abuse; and they are,
inevitably, abused; but the nanny languages like Pascal that attempt
to prevent notional abuses are uniformly unsatisfactory.

One of the artefacts of my new, all but uniformly better Google-based
email support is that I am once again exposed to Mr MacNeil's jejune
comments.   I should wish not to see them, but all of the mechanism
for excluding them that I have examined have disagreeable side effects
that are disproportionate to the modest distress that they produce.
