Charles:

I would think so, the logic to me is sound..Some LE supported languages do it 
automatically, I.E. Cobol, I think C or C++ does..

If it doesn't it should for sure.

I am wondering about another possibility. I have not RTFM yet, but isn't it
possible to replace or provide one's own CEESTART? If so one might write a
"replacement" CEESTART that was merely a front-end to the IBM CEESTART, and
did this check before proceeding on to IBM CEESTART.

Such a solution would be fairly universal and could go on the CBT tape.

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?
