I'm obliged to do some fancy copy and paste here. Is there a technique for replying to a non-e-mail post with an e-mail?
Bruce, <snip> I'm concerned about side effects. Does anyone know of any other products, IBM or otherwise, that rely on BNJMTERM even if NetView is not used? <end snip> By virtue of the fact that the first three letters of the module are BNJ the module is identified - according to a long-established IBM tradition - with a particular product, namely the Hardware Monitor component of NetView, known, in a past life, when it was a distinct product, as NetView Problem Determination Application, NPDA. Thus no IBM product other than NetView can possibly have an interest in BNJMTERM nor should any non-IBM product if they know what's good for them. Do I detect the same sort of nervousness that attends trying to remove a program from Windows and being presented with those "Are you sure you want to delete, another program could be using this dll" or whatever messages? That technique John Eells mentions for threading a belt through the loops on the top of your trousers even when you already have braces looks like it might be a suitable general technique. Perhaps all modules specified in the IEAVTRML CSECT could be put in a special link list library as aliases of IEFBR14 as a way of guarding against that IPL failure. <snip> Another question I have is where is IEAVTRML documented? <end snip> As I understood John Eells's first post in this thread, the use of the IEAVTRML CSECT has been replaced by the "RESMGR service" - and for many years now. Thus knowing all about the IEAVTRML CSECT may not be a productive use of your time. However, with any luck, the reference John gave you may be describing where "memory termination routines" fit in the grand scheme of things and both the "RESMGR service" and the use of IEAVTRML will be covered as the alternative ways of providing the names of such routines. <snip> Just a curiosity item... how'd it get nicknamed "Mr. Clean"? <end snip> I wonder if this is a consequence of just not being oriented to those initial three characters as MVS graybeards have long ago learnt to be. "DFSMRCL0" breaks down into "DFS" as the three characters that define an IMS module and then the rest "MRCL0". This thread is the first time I've heard of this module being called "Mr Clean" but I can easily see that (1) the rest of the module name easily becomes "MR CLean" - the "0" doesn't count obviously - and (2) a "memory termination routine" is concerned with sweeping up any possible mess as I tend to detect from this description.
