The communications ECB is indeed in key 0 storage, but the system recognizes
attempts to wait on that specific ECB and treats it as a special case. It
allows any task in the address space to wait on the stop/modify ECB. The
stop/modify function would not be terribly useful otherwise.

True.

There is only one communication ECB supported by the operating system for 
reflecting STOP or MODIFY commands to a task, but that task can certainly have 
many other non-key-0 ECBs which it uses to communicate with its subtasks.

I wouldn't think so a it is in key0 storage, but as there is bypass code for
wait perhaps there is also bypass code for post.

Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me,
you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.

I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems,
especially those from irresponsible companies.

You can do a WAIT on the communications ECB in any task you want to. Of course, 
only one WAIT can be active against the ECB at a time.

Is Commuication ECB valid for subtask

2010-07-02 Thread Joe Reichman
Hi,

 

If I get address of a communication ECB in a main program then I create
subtasks should I be waiting on that ECB (for a stop or Modify command) in
the main program or in the subtasks as well

 

In other words Can the communication ECB be posted in the subtasks as well

 

 

   thankx
