John, CSA and ECSA are paged to the COMMON page dataset, PLPA is paged to PLPA and (if overflow) to COMMMON. Since the combined size of PLPA+COMMON has to be less than 2GB, (at least until RMODE 64 programs are available, which may never happen), a 2GB COMMON page dataset will be more than large enough. Where is the confusion?

Isn't ECSA and the like paged to COMMON?
