I think the "problem" is my orientation of being a z/OS type programmer rather than a CICS programmer. "wait" in my mind implies making the TCB non-dispatchable by the z/OS dispatcher. "wait" to a CICS person may mean something like "cause other tasks to not be dispatched because an EXEC CICS type function is not done in a timely manner". This latter can cause an AICA, but could make the users consider the system to be "down" due to poor response time. I.e. other CICS tasks are waiting to be dispatched due to the CPU greed of the currently dispatched CICS task. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
