Shmuel:
I remember going through the PCF TMP code and it was in there. I also
found it in the PCF manual as a "feature".
My memory doesn't function to well before we had PCF so I will not
argue other than to say that is not how I remember the field mark key.
As far as accounting. We never used the feature as we had way to many
SMF records as it was. I also do not remember as TSO being that much
of a resource user (yes I know).
We had more issues and to add that into the mix was just to much. My
immediate gut reaction is that we had some users that would get
around it (don't ask unless you really want to know) so turning on
accounting would be a waste.

I think that was because that way back when IBM had a TSO
product called PCF. If memory serves me one of the feature that
PCF offered was to be able to stack commands and to separate them
it used the field mark key as a delimiter.
No; you could use FM as a separator without PCF. As I recall, PCF
allowed you to use other characters, e.g., semicolon, as a separator,
but did not disable the recognition of the FM.
Although admittedly the biggest feature of PCF was to do data
set dasd pooling
Not command accounting?
