Yes.

That's only because it is a PTF.  PTFs don't go through the normal NLS 
translation (and in fact IBM are loath to PTF anything involving MRI).  The 
keyword text is in upper-case because that will display correctly on all 
systems including DBCS systems.  Lower-case characters are not always 
available on some systems.

One would normally expect that the STMFCODPAG keyword will become part of 
the OS in a later release (e.g.,5.1) due to PTFs generally being absorbed 
into the base code -- hence the term TEMPORARY -- but since Rochester still 
haven't worked out that most user's want option 14 of WRKJOB/DSPJOB to 
display the I/O count and not the activation group id (fat lot of use that 
really is) then perhaps not.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
