which to me looks like it's waiting for a response from the user;
however, his (Rumba) session shows input inhibited. WRKACTJOB shows the
job in a DSPW status.

I usually only see this on remote connections. The implication I have seen
is that both the system and the terminal believe there is a connection, but
there was a break in the communication that caused them to get out of sync.

If I'm right, the terminal is useless.

Why would an important function like that be run from an interactive job
that might fail (PCs reboot, communications break, ...)_ ? "Sorry, we can't
pay you for last week because there was a lightning storm Monday."
