With EXCP, I think you'd at least have to have multiple DCBs open for
the data set. I suspect that's the only way you'll be able to get
multiple channel programs queued to the UCB at once. Then, IOS *might*
redirect some of them to PAV UCBs so as to parallelize the I/O, but you
have no direct control over that process.
----------------------<unsnip>--------------------
There's no reason you can't issue multiple EXCP's against the same DCB
before issuing any WAIT's. IOS will queue the requests in the order they
are received and if the requests are eligible for PAV processing, IOS
will take care of it for you. Much ado about nothing here ?? Remember
that even with PAV you're only allowed a single channel program to be
active on any single extent. (Or at least that used to be true! <G>)
