Doing this will cause the API to try to read the feedback structure from an area of memory that's undefined. This could cause data to be overwritten in areas of memory that don't belong to your program! This could cause strange errors like other programs in the job crashing, or operating system functions failing, or variables seeming to have "garbage"
in them.Granted, in most cases, you'll be "lucky" and get unused memory. Since unused memory is normally set to x'00', it'll act just like *OMIT. Until one day, years from now, someone will run this code and be "unlucky" and get memory that something else is using.
Please, please don't use *NOPASS for this. The correct code is OPTIONS(*OMIT) as Barbara put in her article, and as the OP originally posted.
