If you ever look at a file created by the buldacct program, this is how it
does it.  From what I can see, it's a method of having multiple jobstreams
inside one file.

        Subject:        stream,#

        Has there been a change recently in the STREAM command?  I have a
job which
        looks something like this:

        !JOB THIS.WORKS
        !PROG.ALSO.WORKS
        !STREAM,#
        #JOB NEVER.SEEN
        #BLAH.BLAH.BLAH
        #EOJ
        !EOJ

        This job worked for years & years.  In fact, it's been so faithful
that no
        one kept an eye on it.  All of a sudden, we had a failure elsewhere
which
        led me to believe that this job was failing and sure enough.  In the
$STDLIST,
        I find that that !STREAM,# command fails, complaining about a
non-alpha
        character starting the filename.  What's up?  The same thing works
in session
        fine, but no go as a job.
