-------------------------------------<snip>-----------------------------------
There was a time, not very long ago, when ad-hoc use of INTRDR was
deprecated (controlled?) because they were a finite resource. I suspect
one could still create pretty much havoc by OPENing INTRDRs up to a
system limit, and feeding each the content of an SVC dump (perhaps
throttled to a few dozen bytes/sec) and watching the "SKIPPING FOR JOB
CARD" messages scroll by on the operators' console.

Once upon a time I used a job called "RABBIT" to stress HASP and JES2.
All it did was feed ten copies of itself through the internal reader.
With ten copies running, it never took more that a very few minutes to
plug up the system pretty badly.
I used it to get operators to pay attention to their jobs, instead of
playing gin rummy. It usually took only one "occurence" to smarten them
up wonderfully.
