And one thing to remember is that the main task, in the PAUSE/RESUME or WAIT/POST must "poll" for communications from the subtask. I have not used PAUSE/RELEASE, but it appears that, unlike WAIT/POST, the task doesn't have a way to "poll" to see if something has sent a message. I.e. when the main task does a PAUSE, it stops until something does a RELEASE or a TRANSFER. This may or may not be acceptable.
The main task does not need to "poll" for communications from subtask(s) if it uses EVENTS WAIT=YES. When any of the ECBs it waits on are posted, the main task just needs to check which ECB(s) were POSTed and take the appropriate actions.
