• Fix Category: CA.TargetSystem-RequiredService.z/OS.V2R5

   CREWS requires the use of the system DIAG trap STGINIT(00) for proper    
   operation. If STGINIT(FF) is set, some programs will abend with code     
   S001-4 when writing output to SYSPRINT. If any other value of STGINIT    
   is used, or if STGINIT(xx) is not specified, results are unpredictable.  
  
   Note that this is not specific to z/OS 2.5 and may occur on earlier      
   releases of the operating system.
