Well, I have no experience with forking an address space, but how would the two communicate? Usually, there is some sort of common shared storage which does require APF authorization to establish and cleanup. ======================================== >Thanks!

Yes, it requires extra communication. But it solves your problem in a clean way :) I'm not sure in what sense you mean "extra authorization". It does not require any form of system authorization (APF, supervisor state, system key), though it might require that the user ID that the main address space is running under has an OMVS identity (UNIX UID and GID) defined. But the ID may already be set up that way. -- Walt ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
