When a length of 0 is requested on GETMAIN or STORAGE OBTAIN, VSM treats this as a successful request, and returns an address of 0. In my opinion, this was a poor design choice, made long before my time, and I have seen it lead to diagnosis confusion like this several times over the years. I would have preferred to abend when a length of 0 is requested. But it has worked this way since at least MVS/370, and maybe even long before that, so for compatibility reasons, we do not change it.
