You have to add an entry to the "Level D GETTAB Table" in COMMOD.MAC and build
a new monitor. However, there is a place to do this in the MONGEN dialog, so
it's not too onerous.

Or, on a reasonably recent monitor, create a pathological name.<br>
<br>
.path bcl:=dskf:[66,667]<br>
<br>
This is per-job, but may be easier as it avoids learning to do a
mongen/monitor build. You would have to put it in any batch job
that runs bcpl.<br>
