Ah! No, I understand that. I am not trying to "defeat" S222. The second subtask
is a legitimate cleanup effort. When it ends, the main program will return,
percolate and ABEND.

Forty years or whatever and MVS still holds surprises for us! I guess that's

Hmmm. That would have been a much simpler approach, although I am a little
reluctant to touch my dub setting because that code is early in the process and

I always WAIT on the ATTACH ECB and it always works.
Whether that WAIT is superfluous or not is something I have no way of

No, never in my recollection. None yesterday with all of my testing. But I
do see there is a SLIP set for S13E so perhaps that is suppressing it.

That would indeed be a wonder
Right. I only know for a fact that all of the swans I have ever seen were
white.
I believe what is happening is that the DETACH is posting the ATTACH
completion ECB and therefore making it available to be waited upon again.
Because my ESTAEX exit code, that always WAITs on the same ECB following t

Basically yes. Local file name is still the local file name. The particular
