  ****************************************************************
  In SJ and job output, JMON replaces nonprinting control
  characters with blanks. For SJ, the user is allowed to resubmit
  the JCL and no warning is given that characters have been
  substituted.
  

Problem conclusion

• JMON no longer replaces roundtrippable control characters.  When
  characters that cannot roundtrip (hex 0D, 15, and 25) are
  present, a message is displayed, and submit is disabled.
