Thanks. From what I gather of the original enquiry, and reading this 
reference
in one of the QLAY manuals:

"A tricky part is setting the correct datasizes for an executable QDOS
program. Some executable files have the datasize storedin an XTcc
field in the file itself. QLAY can use those."

>From looking at this, it seems that the task dataspace is stored
somewhere in program files which have an "XTcc" field. I have QLay2
set up on my system, although I don't use it much. It looks like the
QLAYT tools program (which is a DOS program) is able to somehow find
the dataspace size and use the stored figure (wherever it gets it
from, because it can't recover it from normal job headers placed in
the Native File Access DOS hard disk area of a QLay WIN file) to add
it to QLAY.DIR, which is where the QLay WIN device stores file headers
to "protect" them from being lost by DOS/Windows.
