I have a quick 64bit storage question, I need to allocate 64bit storage that's not attached to a TCB, much like sp 231 IS ? an I do this ? I know dataspaces have to be attached.

My pasting of a dated IARST64 change tag was intended only as a reminder of the time frame in which the feature was developed. I never intended to imply the feature was obscure or sparsely documented. 64-bit common is fully documented in every z/OS publication in which you'd expect to find it. There were SHARE and IBM zExpo presentations (mostly from Elpida Tzortzatos) that discussed this information as well - both before and after GA. I'm not sure how you, Paul Gilmartin, and others missed this important feature, John. But, it is NOT an obscure one... -- Edward E Jaffe Phoenix Software International, Inc 831 Parkview Drive North El Segundo, CA 90245 http://www.phoenixsoftware.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
