You are indeed confused, teD. 3090E processors did not have the necessary hardware to implement the Private-Space Control(P) bit, which overrides low-address protection and fetch-protection override. For that reason, MVS/ESA did not map addresses 0-4095 in data spaces on 3090E processors. This had nothing to do with prefixing. The Private-Space Control(P) bit was implemented on 3090S and subsequent processors, so MVS/ESA did map addresses 0-4095 in data spaces on those processors. Jim Mulder z/OS System Test IBM Corp.
