You can run this exec to see what the limit is, assuming you don't have access to parmlib:
/* ---------- rexx ------------- * * Get the current MAXGENS_LIMIT * * ----------------------------- */ NUMERIC DIGITS 10 CVT = C2D(Storage(10,4)) CVTDFA = C2D(Storage(D2X(CVT + 1216),4)) /* cvt + 4c0 */ DFAMGEN = C2D(Storage(D2X(cvtdfa + 76),4)) /* dfa + 4c */ say dfamgen Lionel B.
