This has all been interesting but I don't think my question has been answered (sorry if I missed it). Some said I could get the real return address in the save area trace but I do not think that is correct since the calling program saves the registers and R14 points to LINK(x) or ATTACH(x) when the calling program is called. As for the PRB/SVRB discussion application programs run under a PRB.
It was my understanding that attach returned to the OS but in my case I am seeing some pretty wierd things going on if the attached task ends immediately. As to the reference to LINK/Attach manuals it simply states that the registers are changed (I had already looked there). It didn't say what it did with the real R14. Any help is appreciated. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
