Hi Scott,

Pardon my Monday morning eyes that have not been stimulated with enough caffeine, but...

After the trace record for the STORAGE OBTAIN for the Storage address=2BDC1000, Length=204800, you mentioned that there is a STORAGE RELEASE for 2BDC1000 in the trace but I don't see it! In the unseen trace record, the "return address" should be usable to identify the issuer of the STORAGE RELEASE.

Are you looking at system trace to see that STORAGE RELEASE? The ASID,
work unit address, and PSW for the STORAGE RELEASE should reveal who
issued it. Can you post the relevant lines from system trace (assuming
that is where you are looking)?

The storage is in subpool 231, which is a CSA/ECSA subpool. This subpool
is owned by the system, and it is not freed by task or address space
termination.

Guys and Gals:

I just received a problem from a customer and its odd. I will try to explain.

1. Customer is on z/OS 1.13 ..Put ( i dont know we have asked)
2. We have a STC that does this:
          a. We issue a Storage Obtain like below
          b. STC passed amount desired ...we call an assembler module which is 
snippeted below..
              <obviously we are a vendor - i can show it all - and i am sorry 
about that>

               LM    R9,R11,4(R1)       LOAD ADDRESS STG AMT, ADR & RC
              L     R9,0(R9)           STG AMT - S/B 4K MULTIPLE
              MODESET KEY=ZERO,MODE=SUP GO INTO SUPERVISOR MODE
              STORAGE OBTAIN,LENGTH=(9),SP=231,                             X
                    LOC=31,COND=YES,CHECKZERO=YES
              ST    R1,0(R10)          RETURN ADDR, IF ANY
              ST    R15,0(R11)         RETURN CODE, OK IF ZERO
              MODESET KEY=NZERO,MODE=PROB BACK TO MORTALITY

         c. STC shutdowns via a Modify command...
             we call an asembler routine that issues the release

               LM    R9,R11,4(R1)       LOAD ADDRESS STG ADR, SIZE & RC
              L     R9,0(R9)           STG ADR
              L     R10,0(R10)         STG SIZE
              MODESET KEY=ZERO,MODE=SUP GO INTO SUPERVISOR MODE
              STORAGE RELEASE,LENGTH=(10),SP=231,ADDR=(9),KEY=0
              ST    R15,0(R11)         RETURN CODE, OK IF ZERO
              MODESET KEY=NZERO,MODE=PROB BACK TO MORTALITY
*-------------------------------------------------------------
              L     R13,4(R13)          CALLER SAVE AREA
              RETURN (14,12),RC=(15)

The problem is according to the customer we are not seeing a storage release 
....we ran a GFS trace and I am looking at it.
This code basically hasnt been changed since 2002 ...and i know is running in a 
lot of our customer environments..
The only difference is there is a separate job to perform the allocation of 
storage, then the STC ...then a separate job after the STC shutdowns to release 
the storage.  This is working fine. Can someone enlighten me ...? Does storage 
linger after a STC shutdowns ?
I thought VSM cleans up ..

Confused in NJ....
