maybe ... you could set up the teraspace management process as a separate data queue driven server job. In addition to the partial solution provided by Simon, add a C module to convert between 8 byte and 16 byte pointers, and have the 16 byte pointers stored in the main RPG IV server process in a based data structure. The magic cookie would be the offset to the 16 byte pointer in the RPG IV data structure, and could be returned to the calling process, again via dtaq. If the idea is good, you could call the server process a Bakery. Otherwise, call it half baked. -Dave K. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Walden H.
