This ought to > be a tolerable behavioral change.) For a Joblib/Steplib/Tasklib, all CSV knows about is the DCB/DEB. The DEB is flagged as authorized by OPEN if all of the data sets are authorized. CSV does not know anything about the authorization of the individual data sets in the concatenation. The LNKLST is built by CSV, so CSV does know about the individual data sets in the concatenation.
