Whether APF-authorized or not, it can. If your program is getting S0C2, then you are most likely not doing what you think you are doing. A "normal" program running on z/OS will be given control in key 8 with PKM of x'00C0' allowing SPKA's between keys 8 and 9 (including 8 to 8): PSW = 07850000 00000000 00000000 00007000 -> 0000000000007000' SPKA B20A0080 CR 3 = 00C0xxxx Or, using the base-displacement form: PSW = 07850000 00000000 00000000 00007004 GPR 2 = FFFFFF80 0000000000007004' SPKA B20A2000 PSW = 07850000 00000000 00000000 00007008 Peter Relson z/OS Core Technology Design ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
