If you can provide the PTF level of nucleus module IEAVESPI, we could set a SLIP SET,IF,N=IEAVESPI,xxx,xxx) in it at some offset where it has decided that it will be invoking an ESPIE exit. > What is the reasoning behind excluding SLIP from matching when ESPIEis active? SLIP gets called from RTM. ESPIEs are invoked out of program check processing, before RTM. So when an ESPIE exit handles things without percolating, there is no 0Cx abend, and RTM is not involved, so SLIP is not involved. It is not that the SLIP was excluded from matching - it is that there was no abend, and hence no RTM and no SLIP. > Is that information about how ESPIE interferes with ESPIE documented > in detail somewhere?

There is probably room for some documentation improvements in that area. Jim Mulder z/OS Diagnosis, Design, Development, Test, etc. IBM Corp.
