The command works because CP has a CP command, otherwise "CP SEND CP uid CP xxx" it wouldn't work.
Why it doesn't work: have you looked at the console of the ECPAPM system? The only reason for a failure I can see is that the ECPAPM user is executing another CP command when you issue the CP SEND. Or, the stuff running in ECPAPM might decide not to react to the External interrupt. 2007/9/25, Schuh, Richard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > OK, it is just excess baggage. > > > > Regards, > Richard Schuh > > > ------------------------------ > > *From:* The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *On > Behalf Of *Stracka, James (GTI) > *Sent:* Tuesday, September 25, 2007 8:59 AM > *To:* [email protected] > *Subject:* Re: send external ints > > > > That is a perfectly legitimate command. > > -----Original Message----- > *From:* The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *On > Behalf Of *Schuh, Richard > *Sent:* Tuesday, September 25, 2007 11:54 AM > *To:* [email protected] > *Subject:* Re: send external ints > > This may not be the problem, but you have one too many "CP" in the > command.
