- Hey does anyone know why waiting for an event flag causes asts to stop
- being delivered?
-
- It doesn't! At least not in any version of VMS I've ever known....
-
- I really need to be able to wait on event flag...
- and the only way to set the event flag is with an ast.
-
- Are you by any chance waiting for the event flag from within an AST routine?
- Waiting for an event flag won't remove you from AST level-execution, and
- further AST's will be blocked.
