ATTACH EXTR=exit and saving registers (save _all_ registers?)

2017-08-29 Thread Thomas David Rivers
When you specify the EXTR= parameter on an ATTACH, you are indicating the offset of an exit to asynchoronously receive control when the sub-task ends. This exit is invoked as many are, in that a 72-byte save area is addressed by R13 for saving/restoring the registers. The documentation even
