So Gil, you are saying that a UNIX time of, for example, 60, represents 1:34
am on 1/1/1970 -- or represents 0:26 am? (Theoretically -- there were no
leap seconds before 1970.)

an APF authorized program can do that. It can also create a backdoor

any task in the system can walk through and get into supervisor state.
That is the objection that was raised, and it is a very different matter.
I should be smarter than to wade into this one but is it

I've got several DD statements in a proc that have only a single parameter,
PATH='long/path/name'
Because the path is long the statement will not fit on a single card image
(but the PATH parameter by itself will). So I coded
//MYDDNAME DD
// PATH='long/path/name'
No good. It turns out the
Ha!
//MYDDNAME DD PATHDISP=,
// PATH='long/path/name'
works. Kinda silly, but it works.
The SET symbol is not a bad idea also as there actually is a fair amount of
commonality among the three paths, so I could factor out that common part
into one SET symbol.

be a problem with 2.

Yup. That's what I was referring to when I said I'm sure I could wrestle
with the rules for continuing quoted parameters, but that makes an obscure,
difficult to maintain mess IMHO.

What's worse, parm means two different things.
There is a limit of 100 characters on the operand of PARM=.
But I was referring to parameters in the more general sense of, as the
