I wouldn't trust TSO TEST not to muck up things in testing an ESTAE and TSO TEST is not the "only solution". I'd write some minimal code to do/assist in the testing. Possiblities include: . code to dump out areas of storage (just hex or formated?) . private trace table to track code path (and print/format code) . possibly using CS to allow for multiple tasks . record TCB RB cpu tod info? Keep in mind that these can be reused to help test other things in the future so the effort isn't just for this case... I'd start out crude versions of the above (minimal) but "next time" I needed them they might get improved etc.. There's a lot to be said for just diagnosing some errors with just SYSUDUMP output avoiding TSO TEST altering things from the point of failure. Also the system trace table can be useful. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
