The initiator is responsible for creating DSAB, TIOT, JCT and other control blocks before the application TCB can be dispatched, and updating/deleting the same afterwards. It's reliable and recoverable. An application would have to assume all the same responsibilities in order to simply attach a corresponding subtask. Perhaps a separate means of invoking a new task is needed, wherein the responsibility falls on the system code to maintain corresponding control blocks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
