From my reading, a non-privileged program is allowed to request either of those subpools, so long as it requests it in a key allowed by the PKM (or just use key 8). Is this how you are doing it? Or do you use the "input TCB" parameter of the STORAGE OBTAIN macro? Or do you just have a TCB which does all the STORAGE OBTAINs. Or, perhaps weirdest, do you schedule an IRB from the "requesting" TCB to run a subroutine on the "owning" TCB which does the STORAGE OBTAIN and then returns the address to the original TCB somehow (such as WAIT / POST)? Inquiring minds want to know. <grin/> I am just curious. -- There is nothing more pleasant than traveling and meeting new people!
