ALL private SVC's and modules that front-ended or replaced IBM
modules had to be provided to us in source form, with all macros,
etc. required for assembly. NDA's were properly executed and code was
provided, or we didn't buy the product. Period. The entire Systems
staff then reviewed the source code and if we saw something that
didn't look right, the vendor had to explain, in written detail, just
what was going on in the code. Some vendors hated us for this; others
cooperated, however grudgingly.
AFAIK, every program on APF list *can* do dangerous things including
bypass security - can't it ?
What about programs on SCHEDxx list ?
So, does the company also request source code for every module in
every library that require APF-authorization ?
Just curious
No, they sold the mainframe 18 months ago; part of the reason I've been
unemployed (except for occaisional consulting gigs) for the last three
years.
