Well, I used the old kludge of having the submitted job create an
empty file and the calling program wait for it to exist.  It works,
but I'm sure there is a more elegant solution.  (Are either CALL
or SBMJOB expected to just end a Java program and have control
passed to them?)

Thanks for the reply, Bruce.  I now perceive that there are commands
you type in as text :)
