Any of you folks do 360/370 assembler?
There is a back door that still existed far up into the VSE releases using the STIXIT command. I don't know if they ever fixed it. It gives you access to the GP regs and the current PSW, from a batch partition. Those are the keys to the kingdom.
Hint: buried deep in the "I/O and supervisor macros" book there is a descrition of what the unspecified "work area" has in it.
I found it because I wanted to write something that used that big red "interrupt" switch on a 360/370 console. I never abused it but I understand a kid at Montgomery College "owned" their system for a day. I think he got all "A"s that semester.
