  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * When JCL contains multiple steps with the same name, the MVS *
  * Batch launch configuration only displays the step name one   *
  * time in the combobox, preventing the user from being allowed *
  * to confirm which step is actually selected.                  *
