Perhaps this will help a little, based upon my understanding. If I've got this wrong, I hope Jim or someone else more knowledgeable than I am will correct me. If an ESPIE is active at the time a Program Interruption occurs, the ESPIE exit will get control if the Program Interruption code is one that was specified on the ESPIE SET. The exit can try to recover or not. If not, it percolates to the Recovery Termination Manager. The Program Interrupt gets converted to a S0Cx abend. One of the things that RTM does is to check for a matching SLIP trap for that abend code. So, if the ESPIE exit attempts to recover, whatever it means by "recover", RTM doesn't receive control and is therefore not able to recognize the SLIP trap. So it's not that SLIP was excluded, it never saw the S0Cx abend. In fact, the Program Interruption was never converted to a S0Cx abend. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
