One logon parameter that has been implicated in memory trouble has been
MAXASSIZE, which you should check.  Unfortunately we do not have firm
numbers
for how big it should be.  You could try searching through the mailing list
archives
at:

     http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl-mvs/

looking for "MAXASSIZE" for further clues.

There are also your ulimit values that can throttle memory under OMVS.
Use the command:

   ulimit -a

within OMVS to see how much memory you are allowed by the ulimit.

Within the perl program try to avoid large data structures, be they
$scalars,
@arrays, or %hashes.  Also try to avoid @slurp = (<FILEHANDLE>).;

hey,

I've been having memory difficulties on OMVS - perl displays an 'Out of
memory'
error on a data structure that ends up being only 18 meg on a unix box.

Any clue on what's going on?  Or how you could change the config of the box
to handle larger memory structures?

Thanks much,

Ed
