Last one... I have not checked this for myself yet, and probably won't have the time in the next few weeks... In theory... If I allocate 200 bytes of storage at x'7fffff00', and my program, the way some Cobol programs are, writes 1600 bytes there, what would the addresses be, would it jump across the 'hole' or try and write over the hole?

More precisely, z/OS will not create a memory object in that range so it will never be allocated storage. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html Elavon Financial Services Limited Registered in Ireland: Number 418442 Registered Office: Block E, 1st Floor, Cherrywood Business Park, Loughlinstown, Co.
