Is a page protected?--how to determine

2007-07-24 Thread Paul Schuster
Hello: I have a need to determine if an address in storage is page protected in order to determine if a PGSER UNPROTECT needs to be done. The best I have tried and seen in earlier posts is to look for a CC=1 on a TPROT backed up with an ESTAE. Are there any other methods to do this? Thank you.
