The task will only be dispatched if the top RB is active. So unless someone 
schedules, e.g., an IRB, the task will be inactive until the RB is active.

Nit: in MVS the word "suspend" has a technical meaning that doesn't apply here.

Subject: Question on Wait macro

Just looking at the documentation for the wait macro it says “performance of 
the active task” I was under the impression that the task is active just the RB 
is suspended
Which is why it is place in bits 8 - 31 of the ECB

Thanks
