The last time I made much use of the CMS version was probably before Pipelines

My Kedit macro allows > 80 byte records.  But it's not the default, because I 
use beyond col 80 as line comments that are intentionally stripped off before 
being FTP'd to JES.  (FTP doesn't have the restriction, but I usually wanted it 
so I could comment in cols 80+)

The problem I had going from CMS to MVS with the userids was that, without an 
exit, I couldn't propagate the password safely. I think I used a JES exit to 
handle reader input like it was already authenticated, similar to what RSCS/NJE 
would do.
