Peter,

I would imagine that an IBM Red Book might be the correct path to achieve this, 
however I am not sure how these things get sponsored or setup.

Rob.

Rob,

I have occasionally investigated what it takes to write such an application, 
with various "don't do that!" responses from yourself and other senior 
developers on this list (I did listen to your advice).  CF a thread I started 
some years back about modifying the DUCT of a task to enable the TRAP and 
COMPARE-AND-TRAP instructions to actually work.  That project died on the vine 
because there isn't any competent and complete example anywhere.

I'm afraid it will take a contribution to the CBT by yourself and/or some of 
the other senior developers here to get an actual example published of how to 
do all this correctly.  I strongly suspect that the IBM resources who would be 
able to develop a complete example are far too heavily tasked with actually 
modifying and adding code to the operating system or crucial business 
components to be permitted to devote the round tuits to just document how to do 
it correctly.  "No business justification".

It would be ever so helpful if the contributed example included a PC-SS client 
interface component, and examples of how to correctly set up and run an SRB in 
the client task space (for instance to set the TRAP address in the client DUCT 
for debugging purposes), not to mention examples of well-structured and robust 
recovery routines everywhere.

What are you doing on your summer vacation this year? <*Grin*>

Peter

I think that what is lacking in the Authorized Programming manuals is a really 
well written example of how to implement a client server application. While the 
descriptions of the services and their parameters are well documented, a decent 
working example would really help the community understand the issues and 
prevent the proliferation of public domain code with (how shall I put it?) 
non-optimal designs.
