I sincerely doubt that an SRB can be dispatched on a zAAP. From what little I know of them, they are for JAVA code only. SRBs often execute supervisor instructions. I cannot prove it, but I don't think that zAAPs can execute supervisor code. I know that it is documented that they cannot initiate I/O. > (Why inflict vague stuff like that on a customer's bill?) > > -- > Tom Schmidt > Madison, WI -- 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.
