Not at all. The only method suggested to issue I/O without going through OPEN is the K0EXCP routine in ShowMVS. As its name implies, K0EXCP issues EXCP in KEY=ZERO, if and when ShowMVS runs authorised. If someone "found a way to get supervisor state without running from an APF authorized library and on a system that is properly setup and secure" as you say, IBM would have fixed it in minutes. -- Gilbert Saint-Flour GSF Software http://gsf-soft.com/ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
