I'll take a look!

I'm in the middle of developing a WRKMBRPDM-like utility (in my spare time; yeah
right!) for which I wanted to be able to access the PDM defaults screen.  I
determined that the program was QUOSRV, but when I tried to call it, I got a
MCH6801 escape message "Object domain or hardware storage protection violation",
which basically describes "an attempt to access a protected object from a
program running with user state".  "A protected object is one that is in the
system domain or which has storage protection attributes that restrict its use."
This probably encompasses all of IBM's internal objects.

So, I don't think I'll try IBM's CPPs.
