Apologies, you are right...I was writing from memory, and mis-remembered. The client needs an AXSET and an ETCON. The only way to issues AXSET and ETCON seems to be in supervisor state. The only way for a problem program to gain access to supervisor state code seems to be via an SVC.
I tried using a system LX, and removed the above setup. I get a S0C2 in the client. This indicates to me that even WITH a system LX, I still need an SVC to issue the ATSET and the ETCON. If this is true, I don't see any way to get around an SVC to allow clients access to my service.

This did not gibe with what has been asked for (in part since there is no LXSET, although there is LXRES). If you are truly trying to gain authorization to issue ATSET and LXRES then you had better be APF authorized, or you should not be doing this (and that includes having some other application provide you with a PC or SVC that you can use). System integrity pitfalls abound. As has been posted, the application to which you are trying to "connect" can use a system LX to provide you with a PC that you can use, whether that PC is simply to let you connect to a non-system LX's entry table or whether it is to do the function itself that you wish to access.
