What happens if you emit a 5-byte record (carriage control with no
other data)?  In principle this would result in a CCW with a count
of zero, which I know is invalid.  But is the JES printer driver
smart enough to convert it to something legal?  I recall that
decades ago a 4-byte record (neither carriage control nor data)
caused an ABEND somewhere in the access method.  But it's been
reported here that was subsequently fixed.
