This looks to be a typo. Should say: "For storage that is larger than what IARST64 supports, consider using IARCP64 or IARV64 GETSTOR or GETCOMMON." > The IARST64 service is not referenced at all in the > Assembler Services Guide doc. > Can anyone enlighten me about the function / purpose of IARST64? It looks as though it's intended to be used as a record area for READ/WRITE. If you wanted to pagefix using IARV64, you'd need to be authorized, but IARST64 lets you do this unauthorized. http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/dgt2d580/2.2.3 > Thanks. > -- > Kind regards, > -Steve Comstock -- Don Poitras - SAS Development - SAS Institute Inc. - SAS Campus Drive [email protected] (919) 531-5637 Cary, NC 27513 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
