<snip> It's getting too big. The performance boost isn't worth it.
I have other things that I would rather have in there. </snip> I concur w/Ted,. but for different reasons, rooted in the history of MVS. Prior to the advent of the LLA address space, modules needed to be searched for in the linklist and loaded into main storage. This led to a number of 3rd party products (PMO, QUICKFETCH, others) to optimize the linklist search/load function, especially the I/O. The original "performance boost" to placing modules in LPA was elimination of linklist I/O, a function since "taken over" by the LLA address space. Unfortunately, most vendors have not realized this and/or have never updated their documentation. There *might* be a payback, in a "SAS shop" where all of the applications run SAS. The cost would be a s mall reduction in available private by moving the modules to LPA. The trade off is several copies of the SAS code in private storage vs a single copy in LPA. Possibly a reduction in paging, but a limited impact. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
