Re: V5R4 and patch programs

Not necc true. You do not "have" to be system state to go "into" system state. A program can move in and out at will. So you could never see that without the proper tools which would be terribly difficult unless you work for IBM but maybe.... Which brings up the claim of GO FASTER that states it runs in user state. Doesn't mean it doesn't go SS at some point. And really if you play with the words I suppose any "Q" program could be claimed to run user state by virtue of you calling it from user state.
The other issue with this is believing that you could access the "magic" governor data areas w/o going SS. Again it's possible, but I doubt IBM would stick it there. Heck you can't even create an index anymore w/o being SS.
I think the FAST/400 attack was a ruse, not the real intent. But it all seems to have worked out for Leif in the end, bad for everyone else. He did great work for everyone while it lasted. :)
