Hello,.
I'm exploring the use of Sub System Interface
.
I understand a resource manager is the preferred method for handling
specific ending address space termination.
.
To be clear I'm interested in understanding SSI Function Call 08 and 
not a Resource Manager.
.
If this function call is defined by a subsystem, the only variables presented 
to the function routine are: and  SSENASID (ASID of Ending Address Space), 
SSENASCB (Address  Of Ending Address Space ASCB),
SSENJBNM (Job Name List Pointer) of the SSEN Control Block. 
.
It is my understanding This Function Routine would need to examine some or all 
of the above variables in the SSEN Control Block. The Function Routine would 
need 
to compare these variables against some previously stored values that the 
sub-systems 
function routine is interested in. 
.
These "values of interest" would need to be possibly stored in some common 
storage.
My question is how does SSI Function Call 08 determine where the "values of 
interest"
are stored ? Or Where they are stored ?
.
The subsystem may be interested in the termination of several address spaces.
You wouldn't design a unique SSI Function Call 8 routine for each address space 
of interest.
.
One technique that comes to mind is the use of a System Level Name Token Pair 
(NTP).
The Name of the NTP could contain the specific Job Name of Interest and the 
tokens 
could contain the "values of interest" to compare to  SSENASID (ASID of Ending 
Address Space), 
and/or SSENASCB (Address  Of Ending Address Space ASCB). 
.
Is there any assurance that a System Level Name Token is available when 
termination is started ?
Is the System Level even available to this routine ?
How was this validation coordinated prior to the existence of Name Token Pairs ?
