Generally, a process started inside OMVS will run in a BPXAS initiator. On the MVS side, these are weird, in that they temporarily change their name to something like the program running (e.g. INETD8), but unlike batch initiators, there is no separate JES2 jobid for the client process. If you do a $D on its STC number, it will still show as BPXAS. Anyway, these are reused over and over until about 30 minutes after it hasn't had anything to do. I would not expect that a new BPXAS would be created for each process unless the old ones aren't terminating for some reason.
You still may benefit from the other suggestions, though. Running processes in the same address space is more efficient. sas On Sun, May 29, 2022 at 9:01 AM ITschak Mugzach <[email protected]> wrote: > I am running a program that calls BPXBATCH several times.
