Interesting! Thanks for your kind education. Now I know. That boss of mine wrote the passwords on a paper and put that on his office wall. That same paper has also details like TSO logon details with one letter passwords and these CICS passwords for console work: F <cics>,CESN USERID=?,PS=? F <cics>,CEMT PERF SHUT,I If you forget the details, you could (then at those times) walk in to his office (open door policy? ;-D ) , write down the details and go back to the console. That was a very secure (?) method not to lose these passwords in those prehistoric days... ;-D Ok, I'm outta this interesting thread.
