Do I do that by using an ECB waiting on the SRB to :>post? Depends on the logic. If you need the results to proceed, yes. Also consider SUSPEND/RESUME. And watch your terminology. It is the task in your HOME address space that needs to wait. You cannot make the primary address space (i.e., a task in the primary address space) wait unless you schedule some work there. :>I'm glad you said this because I had made wrong assumptions.
