>it seems the ESTAE got control before the FRR wanna bet?
As the earlier posts mentioned, it is possible that an FRR will never get control (for example if an SDWA could not be obtained, which typically would happen only if the system was already in deep trouble). But an ESTAE will never get control before an FRR (where such a statement implies that both do get control). One might argue that if an FRR was skipped because of inability to get an SDWA that the address space should be memterm'd because the recovery routine would not have gotten a chance to clean up. An FRR (also true for ESTAE) would also be skipped if the cross-memory environment that it requires cannot be established. I'd suggest that if you think this is happening, you get a dump and examine the system trace, specifically for RCVY entries. A RCVY FRR entry is provided whether the FRR is skipped or not, with an indication in the data if it was skipped.
