Abstract
Testing for pending external interruptions. A Test Pending External Interruption instruction tests for pending external interruptions. The test for pending external interruptions is based on one or more program-specified subclasses, regardless of whether the machine is enabled for those classes of interruption. The instruction provides an indication for those subclasses being tested of whether there are any pending external interruptions for those subclasses.
