It's a JES log text-format change -- the offset to the SYSTEM information is 
different and the CA JMR software architecture requires that you tell it the 
exact position with a parameter SYSIODF, not considering the possible mixed-OS 
environment having different offset-locations -- why it's not a "scan to the 
next non-blank field" is beyond me.

I for one do use the SORT primary command to re-order the job-list summary -- 
well, that's a NOOP until all LPARs are up on V2R1 for at least now.

And hopefully someone will see the light - I could not even find a CA SUPPORT 
ONLINE KB reference about the condition either.
