Rick, You don't need full fledged "executable code above the bar" for what you have described. You could use the SHARE/UNSHARE functions of IARVSERV added to IARV64 - in other words a 64-bit IARVSERV (i.e., captured storage grande). That could be a WHOLE lot easier for IBM to ship than executable code above the bar. (No TCB/RB/CDE/LPDE changes, for example.)
