Did you issue a plain vanilla SHOWPROC, or did you include any parameters
like, say, JOB=<whatever> or ;TREE?  Was the PIN of interest in the process
of dying?  And did you get any SHOWPROC output?
 
Isn't it nice when HP reinstate these things?  I came across this behavior
on MPE/XL 3.0; evidently it was documented under S/R 5003-042549.
 
The workaround on 3.0, by the way, was to issue a CONTINUE before the
SHOWPROC.

BTW, in spell checking this message Microsoft Mail suggested SHIPWRECK when
it encountered SHOWPROC; how appropriate...
