Hum, I wonder about that (but don't know). I think that it is still true
that a JES2 logical initiator is not "bound" to a specific initiator
started task (ASID). So, a "CICS" initiator (ASID) could have had some
batch jobs run in it before running the CICS job. If so, this could mean
that some errant "system" type code (APF or exit) might have left a
"sand bar" in the 31-bit portion of the address space. If so, it might
end up that a CICS region would have significantly reduced 31-bit space
in the region. Of course, this is the "devil's advocate" position of a
very unlikely theoritical situation.
