Perhaps, but no-one said something about FREEMAIN. If you get what you want with GETMAIN, how do you do the FREEMAIN or any other clean-up work properly? In what AMODE do you want to do the cleanup? I believe those 31 bit limits are there for good reasons including backward compatibility and checking the registers during an ABEND. I can ask more questions like this one: what about a chain of programs which call other programs and each of them have their own unique GETMAIN macros with varying AMODEs and parameters? Why specific GETMAIN? What about STORAGE macro?
