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.
