Wayne, I ran a test on both z/OS 1.9 and z/OS 1.10 using the following code and
on 1.9 the area was initialized to zeroes and on 1.10 it wasn't:
The "rules" Wayne stated are correct.
Just because the operating system doesn't guarantee the storage is
zeros, doesn't mean it won't be zeros.
That's precisely why serious z/OS software developers use DIAG TRAPs
like IgvInitCpool and IgvInitGetmain to force all acquired areas that --
according to the rules might not be zeros -- to not be zeros. (We also
use IgvInitFreemain to help catch late references.)
