That brings back a few memories. I looked in my old book and I found the
following :

:debug
?D DA31+5,3

    043433 00000 100556   - first number = session number, third number
= Job number

?MDA31+5,1      - To change session number

    043433:= 040001  -  enter the 040001

?MDA31+7,1      - To change Job number

    100556:= 100001  - enter the 100001


Don't use this unless you know exactly what you are doing as I omitted
to note which version of the operating system it works on ! I believe it
was used on V/E T-MIT delta 1 or thereabouts.

Just for grins...
