This sounds so wrong right from the start. Or rather, sounds like something that you might do if you were running on a thermostat or the controller for a microwave or something, i.e. some environment where there aren't OS services to manage all this. I'm very curious about what has led you to believe you need to do this. Has the work to be done somehow changed in importance? If so, how would you discover this fact on the fly? Can you give a real-world example of why you'd want to yield to someone else, rather than have the Powers That Be manage CPU resources for you? If you *do* somehow discover that your work has become less important, you might consider calling WLM to tell *it* that this is the case, i.e. by changing the service class the work is in.
