Quoting from IBM-MAIN - Your expectation is not correct. The length returned (both in R1 as the number of doublewords, or via EXTINFO) represents the amount of space that the system obtains.
Particularly for program objects, it is often the case that the storage amount allotted is rounded up to 4K, which actually correlates to the fact that PDSE space allocation is typically in 4K mutiples. That rounding does not typically happen for load modules (in PDS). ... Peter Relson z/OS Core Technology Design -Victor- =========================================== As LOAD provides the length (other than certain cases), I don't see how anything else is easier. sas On Wed, Dec 9, 2015 at 12:25 PM, Victor Gil <[email protected]> wrote: > I guess you all missed the original Frank's email [probably on IBM-MAIN] > where he said this load module is just a [configuration?] DATA to be > accessed via either MVS or CICS LOAD and then mapped by a copybook... > > -Victor- >
