How about REGION=16385K?

(By experiment, I discover that REGION=0K has the same semantic as REGION=0M.
Sometimes I code REGION=0K just to surprise readers; sometimes to deceive
naive JCL scanners.)

And it is also documented that way.  If I were a betting man, I could have won 
quite a few from people who were adamant 0K was different from 0M.

From the FM :     value=0M or 0K  A value equal to 0K or 0M -- gives the step 
all the storage available below the 2 GB bar. This includes below and above 16 
megabytes. The resulting size of the region below and above 16 megabytes 
depends on system options and what system software is installed. When 
REGION=0K/0M is specified, the MEMLIMIT value is set to NOLIMIT.
