According to IEZCIB, STOP is x'40', MODIFY is x'44' and START is x'04': CIBVERB DS C - COMMAND VERB CODE CIBSTART EQU X'04' - COMMAND CODE FOR START CIBSTCOM EQU X'08' - COMMAND CODE FOR STC COMMUNICATION @G860P2G CIBMODFY EQU X'44' - COMMAND CODE FOR MODIFY CIBSTOP EQU X'40' - COMMAND CODE FOR STOP CIBMOUNT EQU X'0C' - COMMAND CODE FOR MOUNT
I'm still left with my original question - especially now that we've determined that the STOP/P command existed when I was in high school... my current thinking: 1. Whoever wrote the started task thought they needed to use some sort of subsystem request (for whatever reason) and therefore had to have a program to make such request 2. The people who actually wrote this code are no longer with us, or no longer on IBM-MAIN at least, so we don't have them around to explain it ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
