It's like looking out the window of a train at "the station." You look two minutes later and "the station" is different, although actually the station has not changed, you are just looking at a different one.

The program's PSA-pointer is just set to the PSA of the processor it runs on. 'as the PSA is no longer the same' ==> there is no 'the PSA' there are many PSAs. 'The' PSA a program sees, is the PSA of the processor it runs on. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
