Anybody who has any of the CA VM:Manager products also likely has a copy of the VRXUTIL program which CA uses to compile their EXECs. This can also quite nicely compile your EXECs too. I don't recall to what extent it is documented/supported. Syntax is VRXUTIL COMPILE filename filetype filemode outname outtype outmode. Options include LIST, XREF and REPLACE.

That time, my solution was a simple ASSEMBLER program (public) that links another mdisk (SUPPORT 11F if I remember correctly), and calling the correct EXEC who did all the checks and finish detaching the mdisk. The only problem was to recompile the program all the times when the mdisk password was changed. I will search for this program source into my backups... If found, I put the program in this list...
