Well, I'm a bit confused by the docs on this service.

In the Assembler Services Reference, the write up begins:

"Use IARST64 to request 64-bit Storage Services."

so I at first assumed this has nothing to do with cell
pools but is an alternative to IARV64 (no guard area,
etc.)

But just a few lines deeper I see:

"Note: There is diagnostic support for 64 bit cell pools, created by IARST64..."

so that sounds like cell pools.

A few pages later I find this gem:

"For storage that is larger than what IARCP64 supports,
consider using IARCP64 or IARV64 GETSTOR or GETCOMMON."

Huh? If IARCP64 doesn't meet your needs use IARCP64?

The IARST64 service is not referenced at all in the
Assembler Services Guide doc.


Can anyone enlighten me about the function / purpose of IARST64?

Thanks.
