Thanks. > I assume the module is reentrant. ( and 31 bit! :-) ) The only negative I can see is your loss of 80M of EPVT. Considering most shops have between 1600M-1800M, I don't see that as being a problem. But I have seen some large requirements for EPVT so only you can answer that question for your shop (ISTR 1600M needed to start an SAP instance on z/OS for an SAP upgrade and some large requirements for WebSphere). Sounds like a good idea to me. Especially if you are storage constrained at all.
