Michael, When you mention testing the "RTM" routine, I have to ask, do you mean the FRR routine or the RMTR? I think most of the responders assume you meant the FRR. If you meant the RMTR, that is much more difficult, because you need a way to ensure that one or more SRB's remain that haven't been dispatched yet. There is a possible way to do this, but be aware that it should NEVER be done on a production system, and could be risky even on a general purpose test system (but that is true of all SRB related testing). All the testing I have done with this sort of code has been run on a z/OS system that is running as a VM guest that I have total control over, to the point of being able to set VM trace traps to interrupt the whole machine. The procedure I have used could result in the hanging of the target address space, and/or the whole system, so I am hesitant to provide much detail, other than to say that it requires multiple SRB's that perform a spin loop, and use of the PURGEDQ macro to drive the RMTR routine.
