It's not working for me either.

the problem I encounter is that it don't pass 'SIGTERM' when entering

the solution was to convert the PROC to use 'JVMLDMXX' rather than

No argument. The problem is that the Java developers used their
understanding of the then nascent UNICODE
The concept of an internal character set has the crucial
weakness---unless full Unicode is used---that it does not address the
requirement that substrings from another language having diffferent
requirrements must be supported.

Translations of this sort can be useful, but they are not yet reliable

Robert,
Actually (tested on z/OS 1.11), it didn't matter whether I had DISP=OLD or
DISP=SHR on my GDG(0), any other jobs submitted while the allocate job was

Lynn Wheeler's numbers are arithmetically correct, but they are also
problematic.
Mainframe channels perform multiple concurrent I/O operations that are
not adequately reflected in them.
