I think if you are doing an XM POST and your ECB and/or ASCB arguments are bad, how you recover is the least of your problems. What if your target address space has been reused, and the ASCB address is valid, but the ECB address points to something unrelated in that new user's address space? You may well change some 4-byte piece of some else's storage, with no indication of an error to you, and perhaps an abend or "merely" incorrect results in the other address space. If you are designing new code you should consider the PAUSE/RELEASE services, which are much safer.
