In MVS, the JSCB has a bit JSCBPASS, whose comment in the macro says
`If this bit is on, and a corresponding bit in the DCB is one, OPEN
will bypass password protection'. I can't find any corresponding bit
in the DCB macro. Does anybody know which is true: (a) the bit is
there, but undocumented (b) JSCBPASS is a relic that no longer does
anything (c) something else? None of my friendly system programmers
know the answer, and none of them want to waste the time looking at
OPEN to find out.
