By that argument every program you write alters the software environment and potentially violates your licence. IBM sells you a computer with a licensed software environment that allows, nay demands, that you write your own programs or at least buy programs from someone else. If I write a program that monitors activity and changes run priorities and pool sizes on the fly IBM is perfectly happy, and if I happen to use undocumented features, well that's my own look out. Where is the dividing line between that and changing the attributes of a job that uses the 5250 data stream?
