The output of the CMS STORMAP command shows the total and largest available chunks of storage both below and above the 16M line. Other than that, you would have to write something to chase the CMS free storage chains and figure out what is available.

Hi All,
I have this little problem I am working on that goes like this..
I have a REXX program that builds a (potentially) very large variable
possibly as large as 16meg (the max) now I can easily check to see if the
variable will exceed 16m and put out a message and stop the program early
on.
But how can I determine if the CMS machine has enough virtual memory
defined to handle the variable before building it?
It's not good enough to just do a Q V STOR since that tells me nothing
regarding how much storage is available.
Any ideas?
Thanks
