If you have used IEAMSCHD using FRRADDR, you can pass parameters to the FRR using the address passed to the SRB in R2 when the SRB gets control.
Obviously this means that the FRR parms are set from within the SRB and not by the routine that issued the IEAMSCHD. I use this technique extensively.

The IEAMSCHD macro has a keyword to set an FRR, but I don't see any mechanism for passing a parm to the FRR. Currently the way my code is written, the SRB does a SETFRR as early as possible after beginning execution. It then places an address in the parm area returned by the SETFRR, for the FRR to use if an abend occurs in the SRB routine. To test my recovery logic, I set up situations that cause the SRB to either time out, or abend. On restart after the recovery, the next time thru the logic to schedule the SRB again, I had an error that caused an 0C4 at the front of the SRB logic, before the SETFRR was excuted. And since the IEAMSCHD coded SYNCH=NO, I had no indication in my code that the SRB had abended after being scheduled. Eventually it was logrec that told me what was going on. The FRR logic is used by all SRBs, and it is the parm that is passed to the FRR that gives the FRR logic its 'context'. Is there a way to pass the FRR a parm when it is created by IEAMSCHD? --Dave Day ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
