To make things worse, with Unix Services one might spawn multiple instances
of FTP client under an single job step.  (Or are those considered separate
job steps?)

What happens if under a shell with _BPX_SHAREAS=YES I start multiple
FTP client processes?  Does FTP client have a "do not share" attribute?
Does FTP client under Unix Services perform I/O directly to stdin and
stdout, or does it ALLOCATE INPUT and OUTPUT to the paths?  (Now I must
do an experiment.)

We'll run out of adjectives before exhausting the combinations.
