They are.  But you need IEFUSI.  Set it, forget it. 

For all but our small monoplex LPARs (those with 1G-2G of real storage),   I 
have seriously been considering changing IEFUSI to have a default region size
similar to REGION=0M for all tasks (after reserving LSQA).   I've just had 
better things to do and this isn't a problem that needs to be fixed since
STCs are allowed REGION=0M in our IEFUSI.  I also want to share the
same exit on all the LPARs - including the small ones (1G real is currently
the smallest).  

Over the years the IEFUSI default (actually - minimum, not default) has been 
bumped up to 64M, 128M, and is currently 256M (that change is already
over 5 years old).  If someone requests anything over 1024M, I already 
give them everything I can for 31-bit virtual.  So it's silly to micro 
manage 31-bit virtual storage now when these systems have 10G-100G of
real storage. 

The kids grow up so fast...
