Hi, Mel
 
  I like the idea that CMPSPID (set_partner_id) call has an affinity to the 
Initialization queue.  That means the call can be a non-blocking call.  So, 
CPIC may ,at that point, go off to access the distributed directory and not 
complete the verb until it gets all the pertinent information.

   And until then, TP program will not be able to issue the Allocate verb 
(it can not have more than one outstanding verb in the same converstation 
queue) .  

   If this is the case , then set_allocate call with return_control 
characteristics of CM_IMMEDIATE should still work properly.  

  In your CPIC changes for use of a distributed directory dated Aug. 5, page 
15 ( I know it 's an old version.  For some reason, I can not print out the 
latest document ) under new usage note for set_allocate call, it implies 
that accessing the distributed directory is done at Allocate verb??

 Please advise

 Regards, 
 Frank
