I have never seen this before.  Using SST to dump several program objects.
For each one, I get a message "Dump to printer successfully submitted."  So
I figure it's submitting a batch job for each of these, right?  Wrong.  The
spool files all point back to the interactive job.  There are no other batch
jobs running on the system using CPU.  DSPJOB option 3 on the interactive
job shows the "CPU time used" figure climbing with each refresh, even though
I'm not doing anything else on that session.  DSPJOB option 4 on the same
interactive job shows the spool files being created.

So, how can we utilize this feature?  Or is this an IBM-only doo-dad?
