* :sw.SUPERSAY PACKAGE
*
* Warning:  There is a bug in some levels of CMS (around Level 10
* Service Level 401) that causes CMS to go into an infinite loop right
* *after* returning from the PIPE invocation when DMSWRITE is in the
* pipeline.  This only happens if you issue PIPE from the CMS command
* prompt.  You can get around it simply by putting the PIPE invocation
* in an exec.  I believe APAR VM57959 reports the problem, and there is
* a fix for that available.
