Would someone in the know please recall how this was done prior to Cross Memory Service (CMS)?
It seems to be an issue once again now that ziip/zaap is here and everyone wants to know how to convert TCB workloads to SRB workloads so they can save $$$ and maximize throughput. In the old days before CMS, IMS did this kind of thing for the handshaking between the IMS Control Region and the IMS Message Processing Regions. The shoulder tapping occurred to manage the IMS queue between the former and the latter. There is something that an SRB cannot issue a WAIT. So they "mickey mouse" it by doing a POST of an ECB with an EXIT to achieve the same result. Just trying to understand the process. -- George Henke (C) 845 401 5614 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
