And I once was bitten by the INSTALL EXEC (from Endicott) that issued
   'SET CMSTYPE HT'
   'DIRECT'
   'DIRECT' 
   'SET CMSTYPE RT'
   Say 'Directory has been placed online'
This happened after that I changed disk labels on DISK and all MDISK 
statements, but I forgot the DIRECTORY record.  I found out after IPL when 
not a single MInidisk could be found, in times without a DEFINE MDISK 
command, this was mortal.
Since then I hate all execs that include a SET CMSTYPE HT, this is hardly 
ever required, surely not when running with ADDRESS COMMAND.

Re: HCPSEC068E when doing PUT2PROD SAVECMS





I gave up on trusting IBM "black boxes" for S/W maintenance when I found
instructions in a program directory, back in the mid-80's, that included,
after linking the MAINT or CMS 19E disk in write mode, the next line that
said "FORMAT 19E G".  Even tho I was working for IBM at the time, I never
quite was willing to place blind trust in S/W installs after that.  Note
that this was not, fortunately, contained within some long installation
exec, but was printed in the product directory.  If I remember correctly,
it was not an Endicott product, so Chuckie would not have done it.
