I was looking back in the archives at posts discussing PSATOLD being zero.
The one thing pointed out is, in a dump, when processing by IPCS, one could see PSATOLD for a processor being zero. The problem is, we are examining PSATOLD while running. We are not using SRBs directly, so our code is written for PRB mode, and we go to obtain PSATOLD to get the current TCB address to find that it is ZERO. So the question that I have is, under what conditions can PSATOLD be zero? From days gone by, this would seem to be some kind of dispatching bug if this is not set prior to dispatching a program that is PRB based.
