Steve, Just found another possibility that sounds like it was designed especially for what you want to do: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/IEA2A860/4.11 <quote> Pause, Release, and Transfer (IEAVPSE, IEAVRLS, and IEAVXFR) are callable services that enable you to synchronize task or SRB processing with minimal overhead. If you have, for example, an application that requires two tasks to trade control back and forth, these services provide efficient transfers of control. These services, which are available to both unauthorized and authorized callers in Assembler as well as C or C++, use a system-managed object called a pause element to synchronize processing of tasks or SRBs. The services provide the following functions: * Pause the current task or SRB (Pause service - IEAVPSE) * Release a paused task or SRB (Release service - IEAVRLS) * Simultaneously release a paused task or SRB and pass control to it (Transfer service - IEAVXFR) * Simultaneously release one paused task or SRB and pause the current workunit (Transfer service - IEAVXFR) </quote> -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
