Nice, thank you. I think I _may_ have found a project I can do as a hobby that isn't too far over my head. A tool that snoops memory from other address spaces.
My other ideas -- a full screen Rexx debugger and a virtual tape -- were way too difficult. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wayne Driscoll Sent: 18. elokuuta 2008 18:49 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: A couple of memory/storage questions Lindy, With one minor (but important) exceptions, subpools 0-127 are user private, so the usage is defined by, and up to the programs running in the address space. These can be used by programs to coordinate the freeing of the subpool. The one exception that I mentioned is that TSO puts all of its user-related control blocks in subpool 78, so I would STRONGLY advise against using that subpool, as a subpool free of all the storage in SP=78 causes some un-expected problems with TSO. Additionally, as subpools are aligned on page boundaries, you can guarantee that storage in subpool 1 will not reside on the same page as subpool 2. To look at what is in subpools, the best method is the VSMLIST macro, or you can run the subpool chains from the LDA looking at the SPQE and data chained from it.
