I was commenting on the meaning of "remember" as well as the choice of that verb , as in "the TCBPKF remembers ...", rather than trying to move the topic even further tangentially by discussing the power of authorized programs. Sensible actions would not include deliberately changing key system anchors or control block fields, but insensible things can always happen until one's program is thoroughly debugged whether it is authorized or not .

Equally, an authorized program can change the contents of location 16 (decimal) | x'10' to point not to the address of the CVT but to the address of his own private control block. Implicit in the notion that a program is authorized is the assumption that is doing something at least moderately sensible.
