I always thought that the system took a copy of the pre-OPEN DCB, and restored it after CLOSE, with the possible exception of DCBBUFCB.
After an OPEN and CLOSE of an EXCP DCB, the bits in DCBBFALN which flag the presence of a DCBE address in DCBDCBE have been zeroed. Assuming my observations are correct, any thoughts on whether this is a bug or WAD?
