Of course dispatching a SPIE exit from the Program SLIH is less overhead than calling ABTERM schedule ABEND, processing the ABEND and dispatching an (E)STA(E|I).

If data or addressing exceptions were expected I definitely *would* use ESPIE. I would save ESTAE for unexpected (well, expected unexpected) conditions. My opinion: no benchmarks, no source code.

You can also recover program checks from ESTAE(X). "You would want" -> "You might want". -- Regards, Gord Tomlin Action Software International (a division of Mazda Computer Corporation) Tel: (905) 470-7113, Fax: (905) 470-6507 Support: https://secure-web.cisco.com/1dQ8bhXNpmvLa4NVcjmC2fB982Tui0X9JlHunCUBPv_aClibXfM6TLhPQP2WT5DcrTnQBpFc0RhGwxsaeDIpogh-Km5NukF3RJomWV60Bm0ZyCEwb8CbrnxZO2x6bpAn2IQV8S6w2Iw9_BBrpXVA80_V-Kt6hkUQbW-W0xsDYQTce0UBQV6ca459Hsl_V_LPlgAdwkyjMV6TMsAVD9lG1uVOfZOUBKoYEW_RzD6u2LObCFzRRPVd1V7Bo_M8SqE9czxV3GfpcwXX_vgio5vhQ03-IITFjOQ2ZFrrL1Hxosb4PreDIA5uDdPSQnVIn6BBvVnYdrAkLPaSRVe5LbKgF-etZhF-b2Cm3Zd42Q_5ZdF0HINGKX-2Tq0VgdbVzQgQ4XlZJ8W6j927m5XSfpo9acR5CpuqNwMDwzqOBUae9IMGvB_SZn9HHL0NGg73ZtFlL/https%3A%2F%2Factionsoftware.com%2Fsupport%2F ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
