  ****************************************************************
  THE Z/VSE SUPERVISOR TRANSPARENTLY TRANSLATES A SUBSET OF
  COMMAND-MODE CHANNEL PROGRAMS TO TRANSPORT MODE. CERTAIN
  I/O REQUESTS GENERATED BY VSAM AND DL/I ARE MISSING
  TRANSLATION.
  

Problem conclusion

• ADDITIONAL TRANSLATIONS ADDED FOR COMMAND CHANNEL PROGRAMS USED
  BY VSAM AND DL/I.
  NOTE, THAT CERTAIN COMMAND-MODE CHANNEL PROGRAMS CAN'T BE
  TRANSLATED TO TRANSPORT MODE.
  DUE TO MISSING TRANSLATIONS, THERE MIGHT BE STILL A LARGE NUMBER
  OF I/O REQUEST THAT IS BEING ISSUED IN COMMAND MODE, EVEN
  IF ZHPF IS ENABLED.
