Rolf, Sorry for the delayed reply, but I did not see your message until I browsed the newsgroup today. I normally only read from the mailing list.
That's an interesting hack, thanks for the info. It never hurts to have another tool in your back pocket for when it is needed.

To: Let me suggest the old hat trick for anchoring a bit of information by TCB then: Pick up the TCBFSA point off the TCB off PSATOLD. This is key 8 storage unless there are highly unusual circumstances. Pick any reasonable register from 2-12 in this save area. It is a bit of a hack since you do not know whether anunpody else executing under this TCB will use this save area location but if you have a pretty good idea under which environment you are executing - it will do. Something like L R1,PSATOLD L R1,TCBFSA-TCB(,R1) ST R2,28(,R1) would save the contents of R2 in the first save area. This will do no harm when returning control to the attacher. Albeit, it's a hack. /re _ This message and any attachments are intended only for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.
