Connections with address space affinity

The BCPii connections created by a C program, an assembler program, or a System REXX exec are associated with an address space.

For C and assembler programs, BCPii creates an affinity between the connection and the address space that initiated the connection (via the HWICONN service).
For a System REXX exec, BCPii creates an affinity between the connection and the address space that initiated the execution of the REXX exec (via the AXREXX authorized service call).

BCPii allows any task running in the same address space to use these connections on subsequent BCPii API calls. In addition, the connection remains active until the address space terminates.
