Roland, I have heard of other products that do this sort of thing - however it makes me feel uneasy and personally I would try to avoid it. Your program that sneaked in that CADS is never going to be above suspicion for any system problems when an IPCS dump reveals it looking like some huge zit on *MASTER*'s nose.
A "CADS-owning" started task is probably less than 300 lines of assembler and probably less complex (and *much* safer) that shooting an SRB in *MASTER*.

Not a big issue so far but I don't want to start/write a STC just to hold the CADS so I schedule a SRB to *MASTER* and create the CADS undercover for this ASID. This works also and I also provide a utility to delete this dataspace. Someone ask me if this is allowed and I wonder I found nothing which tells me a clear YES or NO. What did you think?
