Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere Application Server    *
*                 V5.0 for z/OS                                *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: JVM Custom Properties containing a '$'  *
*                      do not show up in the joblog.           *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
If a JVM custom property contained the '$' character
WebSphere assumed it was a substitution variable, and tried
to substitute in values.  If it could not find a substitution
the jvm custom property was not set in the server.
An example of this is:  -Dsample$prop=true
Problem conclusion
The code to generate the options files was augmented to first
try and resolve the jvm option, and failing that set it in the
server.

APAR PQ97055 is associated with SERVICE LEVEL W502018 of
WebSphere Application Server V5.0 for z/OS.
