ASN translation uses 16-bit unsigned number. The hardware maximum is therefore 65535 (ASN zero is treated special in some cases as a non-identifier).
As for the software maximum, that depends on the operating system and the various IPL parameters. -----Original Message----- From: "Todd Burch" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: 5/12/2005 2:07 PM To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Subject: Max Address Spaces? 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?
