It does it by being authorized to allocate and use all of your aux storage and more. If a user can allocate 4 GB virtual, I'd want to make sure there is an absolute minimum of 12 GB of paging space available. Why 12 GB? So that if all of their 4 GB was paged out, they wouldn't occupy more than about 30% of my local page data sets. Much above that is where block paging starts to have problems finding enough contiguous page slots. -- 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
