Re: DSPJRN Discrepency - Watch Out!

Kirk,

Yes, but....   it doesn't matter if the job in question is QZDASOINIT
or DSP01.  If you give the DSPJRN command a job number it should
either honor it or refuse to accept it.   Ignoring it and presenting
you with all of the jobs that match the job name is a bug.
