Do a variable GETMAIN (or whatever the modern equivalent is) specifying a suitable minimum and a horrendous maximum. The system will return both the address and the actual amount obtained. Save the amount and free the storage. You may need to repeat for the three different areas: below the line, above the bar, and between the two.
Be aware that the amount could change as you make use of system services. For example, OPEN could allocate memory for buffers. > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On > Behalf Of scott > Sent: Saturday, December 06, 2014 9:27 AM > To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU > Subject: How much storage is left? > > In an assembler program how can you find out how much storage/memory > is remaining?
