SIZE=MAX is the default. Reading the HLASM Install guide SC26-3494-05 http://publibfp.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/download/asmi1021.pdf page 170, note 4 says: '4. When you specify the MAX suboption, the assembler releases 128 K back to the user region (z/OS), virtual machine (CMS), or the partition GETVIS (z/VSE), for system usage. When you specify the MAX suboption, there might not be enough storage remaining in the user region (z/OS), virtual machine (CMS), or the partition GETVIS (z/VSE), to load any exits you specify, or any external functions you use in your assembly. I also found the HLASM V1.4 pdf (dated Sept 2000) - and it has the same words - and I'd put good money on the older versions saying the same. Richard (the HLASM developer) has asked whether this is the time to change the 128k value & increase it a little rather than have everyone change their procedures. If an RFE or request appears - I'm sure an APAR will soon turn up. (An RFE would be a good place for all to suggest what value should be used in place of 128k) Sharuff smo...@uk.ibm.com Unless stated otherwise above: IBM United Kingdom Limited - Registered in England and Wales with number 741598.
