If you are even a mediocre assembler programmer you can write your own routine* to free any CSA/ECSA (or SQA/ESQA) storage that you can describe successfully to the STORAGE RELEASE service. You will need to feed it ADDR, LENGTH and SUBPOOL values that don't upset MVS' then-current information on that area of storage. (The monitors generally run the storage control blocks and obtain it from them... you, however, are free to use whatever means that works.) You then have the "advantage" that you can reference your exciting new assembler program at your subsequent job interview (after you get released from your current job). Then again, you might not want to discuss it much after that... that is up to you. Good luck! (Can you tell that we are not recommending the freeing of common storage?) -- Tom Schmidt Madison, WI * I recall the need to be in supervisor state when you issue the STORAGE macro for common storage - it has been a long while since I have played in this area; fun times.
