I was about to propose something the like. Handle all the AMDOE 64 stuff in you assembler code, i.e. let your ESTAE retry. Your retry routine saves all the information your signal handler must know, goes back to AMODE 31, deregisters your ESTAE and ABENDs with some user abend code. LE's ESTAE will catch up and your signal handler should finally be driven. -- Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
