Reading through IPCS customization, it is not clear to me how to go about
accessing data in the dataspace through a verbexit.

I would typically use the Storage Access Service (Chap 10.2.18) to acess
data  in a dump, but it says right up front to use the Storage Access
function of the Symbol Service (Chap. 10.2.20).

In the Symbol Service, I have to supply an ESR, which in turn describes the
ASID of the owning dataspace and the DSPNAME itself.  OK so far.

What is not clear to me is where to supply the address within the dataspace,
or the length of the data I want returned.  Do I have to create a symbol
(using the Equate Symbol Service) for each address/length I want to
(programmatically) look at in the dataspace?  Seems like a pain.

On the other hand, I considered using the Storage Map Service (Chap
10.2.19), as this indicates dataspace access is supported.  But, similarly
to the Symbol Service, I have not figured out how/where to specify the
address & length of storage I am insterested in.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Todd
