>You are right, I have to eat those words. ESPIE processing translates unresolved program interrupt codes x'10', x'11', x'38', x'39', x'3A', and x'3B' into program interrupt code 4, so an ESPIE established for interrupt code 4 will also get control for any of those access exceptions when they cannot be resolved.
Ohhh my. I just asked engineering to set a SLIP as you suggested, Jim, hoping it will match. The above is bad news. I will have them to run the job with LE TRAP(OFF), but I suspect this will not help. I mentioned there it SmartRestart that our appications depend on. SmartRestart surely needs an ESPIE of its own to be able to recognize problems and act accordingly. If this is the case, I'm out of luck with the SLIP. Will have to check whether SmartRestart sets up an ESPIE or not. What is the reasoning behind excluding SLIP from matching when ESPIE is active? Is that information about how ESPIE interferes with ESPIE documented in detail somewhere? The MVS System Commands has only a single line saying that SLIP will not match if ESPIE is active. No mentioning of authorized versus nonauthorized, or what ESPIE does with the pgm check x'10', etc. -- Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
