That should be simple enough and should work without a hitch on 5.2 (or any release). Are you really really sure that the RTABLE is not catching the message somewhere else? Can you copy your RTABLE entry and post it? I would sort of expect it to look like:

It’s done programmatically. You use the SERVC opcode to write an event mask that has a bit on that says you’ll accept a given signal. Your program also needs to setup an external interrupt handler to field the signal when it comes. Have a look at the SHUTTRAP program on the VM Download Library.

The supervisor can just execute the SERVC and write the appropriat event mask. If the underlying VM system doesn’t support the signal then it’ll either be a no-op or you’ll get a return code in the SERVC plist. z/VSE can detect this and ignore the case where VM doesn’t support it or take advantage
