Peter,
Thanks for the help.
When I did a display of the X'8000' area above-the-bar, I was only
seeing the first 8K X'2000'.
I ran through the memory right after the IARST64 accessing each 8K. No
abends. When I browsed the memory in IPCS, I saw the entire X'8000'.
I conclude that if the memory hasn't been used, it doesn't show up
unless it's the first 8K.
My think was that if I didn't see it displayed, it wasn't obtained. And
that's why I thought that my call to BPX4RED failed.
I now have a new posting on BPX4RED forthcoming in a couple of minutes.
Regards, Pierre.
