Oops, since the program is displaying a message I probably should have given
the message some place to go:

    //HELLO    JOB ,CLASS=A,          ...HELLO WORLD JOB CARD
    //            MSGCLASS=X,MSGLEVEL=(1,1)
    //**********************************************************************
    //HELLO    EXEC PGM=HELLO         ...HELLO WORLD STEP CARD
    //MESSAGE  DD  DSN=DO.KPM.B.S.MESSAGE,DISP=SHR
    //SYSOUT   DD  SYSOUT=*
    //SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*
    //**********************************************************************
