We run a 4-system production sysplex using z/OS/JES2 1.11 augmented by Thruput Manager.
As a result of an application area reporting one of their critical jobs abending S822 (issue since corrected), we found ourselves noticing a very old parm value: default REGION size for all classes via the JOBCLASS statement. It's still set to an 'ancient' value of 7M! Haven't assessed how many of our jobs simply accept the default, but I'm thinking of changing the default region size for all jobclasses to a more current value of 32M. In this day and age, not sure how many programmers have a handle on "used virtual storage", and not sure it should still matter! Jobs simply shouldn't fail because of "region size" in this day and age IMHO. I don't know how other shops handle this, and would like to read your comments/thoughts/opinions on my suggested "new" default region size.
