Re: Multi SRB

Actually, to address Windows just a little, a "program" (.exe) may in fact be multi-threaded. MS has their usual almost-compatible-with-UNIX variant of threading. I have no idea what the Windows internal control block equivalent to a TCB, SRB or RB is. Windows has always been OCO, and the Windows

Re: Multi SRB

Can't really address Windows here. My understanding is that nothing runs on z/OS unless it is a task (TCB) or SRB, and that includes things running in a relationship with the USS component of z/OS. An address space is an address space. It's a space. A task is an "activity." Zero or more tasks

I was happy at your first post to check our values for comparison, but you have not said (up to now) where 'RECOVERY' is specified. I find none of the values you cite in PARMLIB, so we may be taking all defaults. I’m not the I/O guy but have access to most everything on the mainframe proper. IF
