If something creates a new RB on the QR TCB, then CICS will likely "loose its mind" due to it just not being architected to suppor this. Too many assumptions in the various management modules. What I think would be "interesting" would be if the loader used by CICS (they now use the z/OS loader on z/OS, but used to have their own) could be used in such a way that an "unresolved static" CSECT with a specified name (like DFHEAI) to be directed to an already loaded CICS module. Hum, I'm not saying that very well, but I hope it is understood. But, in reality, the DFHEAI module is only 38 bytes long. Just not important. And, from what I can tell, the code in it has not changed in any way in a very long time (at least CICS/VS 4.1!). -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
