Seems pretty clear. Seems analogous to a LINK macro. You sit there until the child ends. SYNCH to me implies, well, synchronous. I run, and then it runs, and then I run. Not "we compete for a single processor."

The documentation clearly states that a SYNCH=YES requester remains suspended until the associated SRB completes, is purged, or abnormally terminates. Suspension is *not* one of those three cases, so it remains suspended. When the one of the three cases does occur, causing cleanup for the SRB to occur, Supervisor code will finally resume the requester. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
