SLIP is called from RTM1 before any FRR exits, and from RTM2 before any STAE/STAI/ESTAEX/ESTAE/ESTIA/ARR exits. And that is a good thing. I don't want any recovery routines to be immune from SLIP processing. ESPIE exits are called before RTM (and thus before SLIP). And that is one of the reasons why I despise ESPIE and recommend against using it. Jim Mulder z/OS System Test IBM Corp.
