Abends are not percolated to the parent task under any circumstances, so the answer to 1) is "no". On the other hand, if you meant to ask about the main task's ETXR exit, the answer to 1) would be "yes". The ETXR runs as an IRB which interrupts the waiting RB, and when the ETXR completed, the main task would still be waiting on the ECB. Jim Mulder z/OS System Test IBM Corp.
