Message-ID: <502@etive.ed.ac.uk> Date: 10 Jul 88 13:53:29 GMT Sender: news@etive.ed.ac.uk Reply-To: jcb@lfcs.ed.ac.uk (Julian Bradfield) Organization: Laboratory for the Foundations of Computer Science, Edinburgh U Lines: 8 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.
