Yes you can have more than 2G of central storage defined for an ICF provided it is on a zSeries CPU with the right driver and CFCC level.
http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/pso/cftable.html I have an ICF on 2094 and a 2086 operating as CF each with 16G as only central storage defined to the CF LPAR. This support was not new with 2094 it's been in CFCC for a while. A while seems to have been Level 12 which is supported on all the zSeries boxen 2064, 2066, 2086, 2084, 2094.

No, not yet. There is the concept of control/non-control storage. CF-Speak for Central/Expanded. I don't believe IBM has come out with 64-bit CF's, yet. If they have, I missed the announcement. Also, the mode you are using in z/OS is independent of the mode you use in the CF. - -teD ==================== This email/fax message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
