Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere Application Server    *
*                 V5.0 for z/OS                                *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Trailing "/" will lead to a null value  *
*                      in the generated BBOMCFG job.           *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The WebSphere for z/OS Customization dialog assumes that
all path entries does not have trailing slash (/).
When a trailing / is specified in the path entries,
in some cases, it generates double // in the path.
In other cases, it will generate a null string.

In the case of the BBOMCFG job, when a trailing / is specified
for the AppServer's home, the generated value in the BBOMCFG
for the AppServer's home is null.
Problem conclusion
To correct this, the WebSphere for z/OS Customization dialog
will be updated to allow trailing / to be specified in
the path entries.  As a result, it will not generate double //
or null for the pathes in the generated jobs.
