True. As I recall from looking at the JES2 source long ago, a START
command (SUB=JES2 version) had a "hard coded" job card put as the
first JCL card, followed by a // EXEC PROC=stcname. This was fed to
the converter/interpreter to create the internal text. Then a special
"initiator" was started which did a "request job by job number" to run
the STC.

This is according to my organic memory module, which is suffering ECC
checks any more, so I may be off a bit (or maybe even a byte).

This is a test of the Emergency Broadcast System. If this had been an
actual emergency, do you really think we'd stick around to tell you?
