I have been asked by a system programmer at a non BITNET site to inquire about a program called IUCVTRAP which I gather is used for debugging certain problems in a VM environment. I am not a VM user and am not familiar with this thing. If you know what this is or where it can be gotten, I'd appreciate the info. Thanks Bill Frazier GG.WSF@ISUMVS

IUCVTRAP is not a debugging tool but a public domain utility written by Artie Echock (sp?) of CUNY (I think). In the VM environment IUCVTRAP is invoked from an EXEC2 or REXX program. It sits and waits until an IUCV interrupt happens and parses the incomming information and allows the program to manipulate it or trigger other tasks. The program has a rival developed at Penn State University called RXIUCV which is a rexx callable function that does the same tasks and has a function call interface as compared to the external module call of IUCVTRAP. I am not sure it that is PD. IUCVTRAP is available on the annual VM Workshop tapes and I believe it is also on the Waterloo Tools tape. I am not sure if I have a copy online, if you are interested, let me know by pvt email. -- -I said so... & said it for myself. Indra K.

In a recent article Bill Frazier writes: >I have been asked by a system programmer at a non BITNET site to >inquire about a program called IUCVTRAP... The IUCVTRAP code is available on both the 1985 and 1986 (and maybe 1987) VM Workshop tools tapes. If memory serves me the package was written at CUNY. Check with a nearby VM site; most of the larger VM installations probably have a copy of the tape or know someone who does. If you can't find anyone nearby send me a note and I can send a copy. (The 1985 VM Workshop was at Kansas State University; in 1986 it was at the University of Kentucky.) Joe
