I am still missing something can anyone tell me what it is?
This is the console from my little REXX program .. NEWLINE is =< 4K.
It appears there is plenty of unallocated storage.. or do I need to be looking
at a speciffic pool?
Thanks

The easiest is to look at the output of the STORMAP command. There you
will find the size of the largest unallocated chunk of memory above and
below 16M. I would imagine that as you concatenate additional data on
the variable that REXX is allocating new memory each time and moving the
data to the new location. So depending on the size of the "current" value
and the "new" value, you could use 32M to add 1 byte to a string 16M-1
bytes long.
