I seem to recall that common/shared memory objects are associated with the RASP 
address space rather than *MASTER*.

There are a non-trivial amount of ISV software products that squirrel stuff 
away in ASID(1) off existing TCBs and some even go so far as to schedule an IRB 
over to ASID(1) and create their own TCBs to store stuff. 

I suggest the customer takes an in-flight dump of ASID(1) and run some IPCS 
VSMDATA reports - maybe they could narrow the usage down by subpool/key and 
sniff the storage contents for eye-catchers that might provide clues as to 
ownership or purpose.

Subject: Memory For MSTJCL00 - Whose Is It?

Almost a year ago in
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/MartinPacker/entry/bad_data_and_the_subjunctive_mood?lang=en
I talked about seeing large numbers for memory in MSTJCL00.

At the time I got no takers as to what it could be. So I'm trying again here...

... Is MSTJCL00 the anchor for something? Common Large Memory Objects perhaps?

And are YOU seeing large memory numbers?

I ask because I've seen it again in a customer with z/OS R.11.

Thanks, Martin
