Thank you all for your valuable input. As for using storage above the bar, I had looked at it before sending this posting. The thing that concerned me was the following:
Virtual memory above 2GB is organized as memory objects that a program creates. A memory object is a contiguous range of virtual addresses that are allocated by programs as a number of application pages which are 1MB multiples on a 1MB boundary. Programs continue to run and execute in the first 2GB of the address space. My memory objects are much smaller than 1M and I do not want to do my own storage management (braking up the megabyte of storage). Could I use IARST64 to manage the storage above the bar? The "Extended Addressability Guide" does not mention this macro. IARST64 REQUEST=GET/free,size=999,COMMON=YES,MEMLIMIT=NO,OWNER=BYASID,OWNINGASID=owningasid ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
