Positively terrifying. I know large companies often get to review unthinkable source code, because of the risks this article states. But a foreign government, and China no less - seems risky. I’m sure it is done ‘eyes only’ and they don’t actually get to keep a copy. But still, stealing IP

One small correction. The bit/error/whatever is not for "Unicode Services Available" but for "CUNLINFO available." CUNLINFO is not "essential" (unless particular program logic treats it as so). CUNLINFO lets a program detect translation parameter mismatches ahead of doing any actual

The PTF does not update any macro, but as Peter says, it's not a programming interface anyway. One more point. The NUCLEUS element CUNMIIPL has the alias IEAVNPUN. If you choose to put the fix elements in place 'manually' ahead of the next IPL, don't forget the alias. . . . J.O.Skip

Gotta agree. That wording is not quite the same thing as saying 'there are no back doors'. On balance, however, I usually impugn such wobbly subtext to imprecise verbiage, not to finely crafted misdirection. I give IBM a pass on the statement. But then again, I'm easy. . . . J.O.Skip Robinson
