Because the damage is already done. What is needed is for the utilities to stop
checking for invalid characters. After that happens you can worry about SYSOUT
filtering.

Subject: PARM='GRAPHICS(CHAIN(SN))'
In a recent post, I saw:
//TESTDIR EXEC PGM=IDCAMS,PARM='GRAPHICS(CHAIN(SN))'
o Why is PARM='GRAPHICS(CHAIN(SN))' still a thing?
o Cui bono?
o In this 21st Century, why isn't the default the identity translation?
o If it needs to ba thing, why doesn't every utility support it?
o If it's generally needed, why isn't it an option on DD SYSOUT?
(I was dismayed the first time I used IDCAMS and my comments vanished.)
