While this is more an MVS question (because: Common say subpool 241 ...) another suggestion which might be as good. Have you considered key 9. Key nine is the free_for_all storage when the storage protection override bit is on. That particular bit is on for z/VSE and z/OS all the time. so ...

Tony. In z/os I've done the following: 1) root task attaches non-le asm subtaks. 2) each sub tasks issues pipi with parms for non- main program 3) each sub task saves and reuses its own le token. 4) each sub task call LE program via pipi and passes parms as documented. I'm not at office, so I
