Re: What does R2 contain on entry to an FRR created using IEAMSCHD

It strikes me that this is possibly the wrong question, as is the question about passing a parameter to the FRR. The answer to the subject's question is: the same value that is in R2 on entry to the SRB when you have requested that the system establish the FRR, namely the address of a 24-byte a
