The module (IEEVEXSN) which does the WTO for IEE178I is unfortunately OCO, so I have to do the reading. The answer to question 1 is that IEEVEXSN specifies that the IEE178I should *not* be held. For question 2, I suppose it depends on what you mean by "timely". Branch entry WTO processing schedules an SRB which POSTs a task in the console address space which reissues the message as a WTO LINKAGE=SVC, which drives automation. If the system is functioning normally, that should be reasonable timely, but asynchronous with respect to the original SYNCHDEST=YES WTO. Jim Mulder z/OS System Test IBM Corp.
