There is a queue for each task, but more than one task can issue STAX. The exit for a subtask get control before the exit for the parent task.
Are you thinking of CLSTATTN (sp?) and TOPLEVEL? -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

I think that STAX acts at the TCB level. The CLIST will be running on different TCB from any program that it invokes, as each command is invoked using an ATTACH macro. I have seen situations where the CLIST flushes the stack after the interrupt and so the TCB running the program or command is wiped out. I think there are parameters that are needed on the CLIST to protect against this I think.

The CLIST processor uses STAX; the override rules are the same as for any other user of STAX. REXX doesn't support attention handling code, but the REXX interpreter does do a STAX and writes a prompt for attention. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

I don't know what other mysteries REXX brings to the table. CLIST processing has ATTN handling, which (from memory) overrides the use of STAX (assembler TSO interrupt handling macro) from within a program.

Ideally, it will be the aid for PA1, exactly one time, but life is full of surprises. Does your ATTENTION key work as expected with other applications? -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

The goal was just to write an extremely primitive counter-tester, which the user can interrupt after X seconds to see what counting-performance had been achieved. When I run the program and then press my 3270 emulator attention key, the program just ends instead of the attention handler gaining control. The console log shows a SLIP TRAP X33E and X13E were matched. MVS system codes SA38-0665-30 says for 33E : "During processing of a DETACH macro that specified a STAE=YES operand, the system found that the specified subtask had not completed processing" code 13E is : "The task that created a subtask issued a DETACH macro for that subtask, specifying STAE=NO before the subtask ended. I ASSume the "subtask" is my test program ?? And the "task" is TSO ?? Or maybe not :/ How do I just get the ON ATTENTION handler to work ?
