STP is more accurate than NTP for coordinating the clocks in your data center, but it doesn't eliminate the need to compensate for drift. You still need to periodically use an official time source via NTP. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz http://mason.gmu.edu/~smetz3 __

I'm rusty, but my understanding from MVS/ESA days is that PSATOLD is always set as the current task becomes active, and there is one PSA for each 'engine', so by definition if your code is running under a TCB, it always gets its own TCB address from that field. Also, I haven't seen a TCB virtual a
