Re: TCB List - again
Walt That sounds really cool. I wonder if there are any example IPCS REXX execs out there that take advantage of this?

Re: TCB List - again
The freeware MXI does have a limit on the maximum number of TCBs shown for an ASID - the commercial version (MXI G2) does not. I do not believe that there is another free tool that lists TCBs in a foreign address space dynamically - your only other "free" option is to DUMP the address space and use IPCS.
