The IBM internal bootstrap code has this comment: "CMS will NUCXLOAD an open file prior to respecting the search order. So open the file on the right disk before NUCXLOADing." The code does an EXECIO DISKR of the file and then does the NUCXLOAD. I don't think this behavior is documented in the books, but I suppose it could be documented in the code. Anyway, I figured I'd post this here for future generations to reference. I don't know of any other code that uses this "trick".
