Joe, You have it backwards. When task is created via ATTACH, and the ECB= parameter is coded, that ECB will be posted by the operating system when the task terminates. If the parent task detaches a task before that task terminates, the child task will be abnormally terminated. The purpose of the ECB is to allow the parent to have a way of knowing that all of its subtasks have terminated (normally or abnormally), and are ready to be safely detached.
