If it is problem state code, you can have the end user run it in the
background TMP under TSO TEST with a script.
TEST 'program' 'parameters'
AT location (L whatever;GO) {defer}
.
.
GO
L 15R
END
and SYSTSPRT will have the debug output.

Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me,
you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.
I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems,
especially those from irresponsible companies.
