2298.0. "VSDA$ to an ACP fails with IE.INS" by NSIC00::TWIGT () Tue Mar 18 1997 11:43

    I want to VSDA$S data from one task to another task. The receiving task
    is an ACP. The VSDA in the sending task fails with IE.INS (376; task
    not installed). I experimented with another (test) receiving task, and
    it turned out that the taskbuild /AC switch causes the problem. Without
    that switch VSDA works fine. With /AC, IE.INS again. 
    
    Some questions:
    
    - Is /AC indeed the cause that the receiving task is "unreachable" via
      VSDA? This restriction is not documented.
    
    - Is there any setting or alternate routine (maybe exec-routine) or
      whatever, by which I still can VSDA data to an ACP?
    
    Any help is greatly appreciated,

    Koos,
    
    I seem to remember that ACP's use the  send/receive list head to
    receive the I/O packets. This should be documented. I  can't remember
    if one can change that (and I'm nowhere near any RSX doc's to look it
    up).

2298.2no bug - it's a featureNSIC00::TWIGTWed Mar 19 1997 07:356
    I found in exec module DRRAS.MAC for send data (and also DRSRF.MAC for
    send by referefence) that the directive fails if bit T3.ACP is set in 
    T.ST3 in the receiving task's TCB. Suppose I'll have to live with that.
