Try "JEMMEX X=TEST I=TEST" since by default I think it's less careful than it perhaps could be regarding UMBs. Or even read the docs and try the ultra super safe option. Hmmm, lemme find and quote it (for convenience): "X=A000-FFFF NOHI NOVME NOINVLPG" (if that doesn't work, nothing will). BTW, this is a naive question, but do you really need EMS? If not, avoid JEMM386 altogether and just load HIMEMX (or XMGR or FDXMS or similar). It may avoid some rare problems (including this one, though I halfway doubt it without trying it). And if you also really need UMBs, you could try UMBPCI, but I doubt that would fix anything. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
