I have a situation in which it would be a wonderful thing if I could have multiple tasks waiting for a single event, without having a separate "wait control block" of some sort for each task.
Why? I have no control over what the tasks "have" in advance (system exit situation) and doing a GETMAIN or the like so that each task could have its own ECB, and then chaining them all together, following the chain with POSTs, FREEMAINs, etc., etc., would be a real pain, a lot of overhead, and a real risk of mucking it up. I know WAIT/POST/ECB does not support multiple tasks waiting on a single ECB. I guess that EVENTS does not support this either -- but I don't see it explicitly in the documentation -- is my assumption correct? Is there any other way to do this? Some clever use of ENQ or something like that? Some other z/OS "wait" service besides WAIT and EVENTS?
