Hi,

I was reading the manual for an explanation of CPU lock:

CPU lock -- provides MVS-recognized (valid) disablement for I/O and
external interrupts.

The manual gives a further explanation:

MVS does not guarantee preservation of the interrupt status of
programs that explicitly disable for I/O and external interrupts
through the STNSM instruction.


What does 'does not guarantee' mean?

Thanks.

Johnny
