There *is* a simple way to do it but, IMHO, it is a kludge; add
another step to the JCL for the sole purpose of validating the user.
Were I a vendor, I would be embarrassed at having to suggest that to a
customer instead of fixing the code to produce a reasonable message.

Is there an open requirement on this?
