Joe, How about answering Jim Mulder's question, or do you not even try reading the documentation before posting questions to the entire IBM-Main team? You apparently knew what you were looking for. What was the difficulty with finding it?
And then you didn't even indicate which service you were curious about. The answer could be different for different services. There are likely some services not appropriate to be used from a DIE. The answer has no necessary relationship to "linkage=system", although clearly something that requires issuing an SVC (aside from ABEND) cannot be used from a DIE.
