Why do programmers use "BYPASS( HOLDSYS( <reason-list> ) )" rather than merely BYPASS( HOLDSYSTEM )? Are there some reason codes to which they particularly want to be alerted while others can be routinely bypassed by appearing in the list?
What's the process? Perhaps first: APPLY CHECK BYPASS( HOLDSYS( <ordinary-reasons> ) ) ..., then resolve the unusual reason codes (GIM35965I) and do APPLY BYPASS( HOLDSYSTEM ) ...? (Just wondering what we should supply in our JCL samples.) (In internal testing of PTFs, I'm inclined to supply a list to detect typos in ++HOLD SYSTEM REASON( bogus ) ... MCS.)
