Did not see the original post, but even this hard loop will not prevent other tasks in the address space from running. This task will eventually reach its time interval and will lose control, and there are always other CPU's. The easiest way to stop the other tasks is to do an ENQ with SMC=STEP. Then you can issue a normal WAIT. -- Binyamin Dissen <bdis...@dissensoftware.com> http://www.dissensoftware.com Director, Dissen Software, Bar & Grill - Israel Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me, you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.
