That's a plausible rationale.  But then I'd expect
SMP/E to issue equally harsh diagnostices whether the
failed checksum is calculated by ICSF or by Java.
Instead, in the ICSF case SMP/E issues the GIM45500S
but not the harsher GIM44336S.  RC=12 in both cases.

There are the seeds of an escalation here.  As users become
more tolerant of return codes, developers will be compelled
to escalate the return codes.

Your people haven't learned the bitter lesson of attempting
to execute in the UNIX (USS) shell a program object that the
Binder has marked nonexecutable.
