Re: Is Commuication ECB valid for subtask
There is only one communication ECB supported by the operating system for reflecting STOP or MODIFY commands to a task, but that task can certainly have many other non-key-0 ECBs which it uses to communicate with its subtasks. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Binyamin Dissen Sent: Friday, July 02, 2010 8:58 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: Is Commuication ECB valid for subtask On Fri, 2 Jul 2010 09:46:34 -0400 Joe Reichman joereich...@optonline.net wrote: :If I get address of a communication ECB in a main program then I create :subtasks should I be waiting on that ECB (for a stop or Modify command) in :the main program or in the subtasks as well :In other words Can the communication ECB be posted in the subtasks as well I wouldn't think so a it is in key0 storage, but as there is bypass code for wait perhaps there is also bypass code for post.

Re: Is Commuication ECB valid for subtask
:In other words Can the communication ECB be posted in the subtasks as well I wouldn't think so a it is in key0 storage, but as there is bypass code for wait perhaps there is also bypass code for post. The communications ECB is indeed in key 0 storage, but the system recognizes attempts to wait on that specific ECB and treats it as a special case. It allows any task in the address space to wait on the stop/modify ECB. The stop/modify function would not be terribly useful otherwise. Only one task can wait on it.
