There is no SRB type facility in VSE. Look into using the XPCC facility for communicating data between address spaces.
It also does not support a System LX for your PC routine though it does support PC-ss. I generally use XPCC in VSE instead of PC routines if you need to provide cross-partition data movement.

I'm investigating porting a z/OS server address space to z/VSE. The server address space creates PC-ss routines that client address spaces call. The client call causes the server to schedule an SRB in the client address space which in turn calls the server via a PC-ss to copy data from the server to the client. I know that a number of z/OS services and control blocks can be emulated, ETCON, TCB, etc, but what I'm missing is the VSE equivalent of an SRB. Under VSE is it possible to create a new workunit in another address space? Is there a VSE equivalent of an SRB? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
