I believe you will lose dispatchability because the STIMER SVC queues an RB to your TCB and redispatches according to whatever its priority rules are. If I were doing that sort of thing, I'd use interval rather than TOD. Or wait for a few seconds, then do the STIMER. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
