A call to Pause/Release is *not* a SUSPEND request.
I can't think of any reason for a Pause to not work in a SVC as long as
you do not hold any locks.
Many, many, moons ago type 2 SVCs were managed differently from type 4
SVCs. It's a fuzzy memory, but I believe they had to be 2K or less in
size and were loaded from SVCLIB transiently into a common 2K area.
That lead to restrictions for them that are still published but not
actually valid.
Today there is no difference between type 2 and type 4 SVCs with respect
to the way they receive control in the supervisor code and what they can
do. If you are getting an abend calling Pause then you have a problem
with your code.
