I wonder if I am missing something. Here is what I think: My main program does an
ATTACH,EP=CHILD,ECB=ECB1 WAIT ECB=ECB1 DETACH (R1) The program CHILD does its thing and then when done POST ECB1 Which IIUC causes the main program to stop waiting. How does CHILD know the address of ECB1 in order to POST? Or do I need to pass the address as a parameter?
