Sure... But then why is there a TESTAUTH macro with both SVC and branch entry at all? Everyone could just check JSCBAUTH on their own. And that single bit is even a Programming Interface! Checking key or state is slightly fiddlier from, say, an SVC routine, but still not rocket science. And in a PC routine it's trivial. But I was just wondering why IBM seems to have provided the necessary few lines of code, conveniently located in Common so it can run in home space mode, to do exactly and only this one (JSCBAUTH) test, but not documented it. Providing a PC routine that can handle APF and non-APF callers differently seems like a common enough thing to want to do.
