Anton, On the other hand, I have interviewed applicants for assembler coding jobs at software houses were the applicants weren't aware that QSAM I/O can be done with buffers allocated above the 16 meg line. I would greatly prefer that people explore the facilities available in newer releases of the operating system than bury their head in the sand and use the "well, it's always been done this way" approach. Granted, some of these techniques may not be required in production applications, but on the other hand, if people didn't investigate usages for new technologies, we might still be communicating via smoke signals and riding horses.

Why is your Storage areas above the BAR ? I am looking for an "Application reason" ex. a) We loaded our Data into memory because the Database we have is too slow b) We had a Systems Programmer that likes to play and he decided to put certian buffers above the bar...
