Use of the WTOR macro should have a mandatory sentence of 10 years using
Windows Millennium. {grin}. I _despise_ "hanging a WTOR" for operator
communication. Learn to use the QEDIT macro so that the program can respond
to the z/OS operator MODIFY command. I learned how to do that at my first
job in the 1970s! It ain't rocket surgery (or is that brain science?).
BTW, what is an "operator"? I haven't seen one of those "in the wild" for
about 10 years now.
