When I look in the System Exits manual I see a structure passed as a parameter list which has an offset to the work area, and a length specified for it. Assuming the length is specified in bytes it must fit in a halfword. So max would be 65536 bytes.
I agree it would be sensible for IBM to give an indication of how much there is. Without that one could be reduced to getting ones own work area 😉. Can you dump out the parameter list to see what is passed? Can we have any indication from IBM of a minimum size?

I can't find any documentation in KC on how to customize the size of the workarea in SMPRMxx or what the minimum size of the area is. Can anybody shed any light on this? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
