Several comments on this: First to Bob - thanks for the explanation. That explains why I get three responses when I ask ip w for the cvtexit address. (Or why IPCS tells me that an ASCB address is an ASCB.)
Shane, I don't think that IBM is implementing this yet, it was just a request and Bob alluded to what it would mean. Or am I mistaken? >I believe IBM researched has dabbled with this, but it is a non-trivial >task to do by IBM or by others.

Greg, in this case I believe that just about everyone using GFS traces would be greatful for an incomplete solution. If the amount of data could get reduced to the non-trivial cases that you mentioned above, that would be a great help already. Myself, I am perfectly willing to check the entries of a GFS trace that are left when the fully matching pairs have been eliminated. Any chance that this could be made available by IBM (similar to Jims verbx dmpwrite before I nagged you enough to make it a full command :-) ?)
