I believe an ESTAI recovery runs on the subtask as well. Can't say which
is better.
Either may obviate the need to re-attach it, which would be good, because
you might find more problems with that.

Any code in a suitable environment (e.g., it can't be disabled) can wait
on anything that is of a suitable key and is not already waiting. If
already waiting, wait abends.

I call that "post".
A program is in a WAIT ECBLIST on two ECB's.
The program's ESTAEX exit is driven by an operator CANCEL (ABEND S222).
Is it legal for the ESTAEX exit code to WAIT on one of those ECBs? If not,
what would be the symptoms? And if not, what would be necessary to "make it
legal"? Is it possible to can
