ASCBASID is a halfword, defined as SIGNED in the Data Areas manual. It looks like the # of address spaces can vary. (I'm not sure what goes into this - but a quick jog though a few manuals makes me think it can vary per installation).
Can there be more than 32,767 address spaces on a system? If not, would the high order bit of the ASCBASID ever be on for any other reason?
